I've found a lot of examples here but no one works for me...I can't understand what's wrong.
what I need is to enter the "airplane mode" in my app and I search for a full example.
What I have done is
1. request permission in manifest (I've seen I need "WRITE_SETTINGS" permission)
<uses-permission-sdk-m android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
2. in the code, when I want to change Airplane Mode, I check for permission
private void setAirplaneMode() {
boolean permission;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
permission = Settings.System.canWrite(this);
} else {
permission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
}
if (permission) {
//here I go to activate the airplane mode
setAirplaneModeIntent(true);
} else {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS)) {
//I need to explain why I want permission
//TODO
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS}, MY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_WRITE_SETTINGS);
}
}
3. I override the "onRequestPermissionsResult"
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResult) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_WRITE_SETTINGS: {
if( grantResult.length > 0 &&
grantResult[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
setAirplaneModeIntent(true);
}
}
}
}
4. in the "setAirplaneModeIntent" I set the Airplane mode
private void setAirplaneModeIntent(boolean activateAirplaneMode) {
Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON,
activateAirplaneMode ? 1 : 0);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", activateAirplaneMode);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
when I debug, I enter in the "ActivityCompat.requestPermissions" code but when I reach the "onRequestPermissionsResult" the result is not PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED.
What's wrong?
EDIT
I solve the "requestPermissions" part. For the "WRITE_SETTINGS" permission you need the ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS intent.
See here:
- https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html#ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS
- https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_SETTINGS
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39224303/write-settings-permission-not-granted-marshmallow-android
Anyway I got an error in the point 4, when I send the broadcast.
If I don't sent the broadcast, the "Settings.System.putInt" command seems doing nothing.
Someone can help me?
EDIT 2
I surrender. The only solution I have found that works is to open the network settings in this way
Intent intentAirplaneMode = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_SETTINGS);
intentAirplaneMode.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intentAirplaneMode);
