airplane - How to programmatically enable and disable Flight mode on Android 4.2?

Question

Is there a way to disable or enable Flight Mode on Android 4.2?

I use this code that works only for previous Android versions:

android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(
    c.getContentResolver(),   
    android.provider.Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, enable ? 0 : 1
);

Answer 1

There exist a simple workaround on rooted devices.

To enable Airplane Mode the following root shell commands can be used:

settings put global airplane_mode_on 1
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true

To disable Airplane Mode these root shell commands can be used:

settings put global airplane_mode_on 0
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state false
