WiFi on during airplane mode in Android

Question

I want to turn on airplane mode but WiFi should remain turn on. I want to do it using programming in Android. How it can be done?

In my application I want to turn on airplane mode but my application needs WiFi connectivity so WiFi should not be turned off.

network connectivity goes down when in airplane mode right?? that's the idea — Elltz, Dec 28 '14 at 08:17

By combining this and this SO answer. Turn on Airplane Mode with the first, turn on Wifi (only) with the second. But there's a caveat: Turning on Airplane Mode requires a special permission in Android 4.2 and beyond that is not available to non-system app makers, so this solution will only work for pre-4.2 devices.
