Question

I want to disable data connection and I am using this code.

ConnectivityManager dataManager;
    dataManager  = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    try {
        dataMtd = ConnectivityManager.class.getDeclaredMethod("setMobileDataEnabled", boolean.class);
    } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    dataMtd.setAccessible(true);
    try {
        dataMtd.invoke(dataManager, false);
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Some things to mention here:

before Android 5.1 there was no official API for dual sim functionality. Thus there seems to be no universal solution for older devices. Since 5.1 an API is available.
your code will no longer work on Android 5+, as pointed out in this question
however, this answer provides a solution to both bullets above: the method setMobileNetworkfromLollipop checks whether target is 5 or 5.1+, and in case of 5.1+ it loops through all subscription id's (=sim cards) to switch data services. You could combine it with your code to target previous versions as well. The downside: it requires root access, and dual-sim functionality is limited to 5.1+.
