Answer 2

See the blog article Android: Controlling Airplane Mode ,

Works only upto API 16

// Toggle airplane mode.
Settings.System.putInt(
      context.getContentResolver(),
      Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, isEnabled ? 0 : 1);

// Post an intent to reload.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", !isEnabled);
sendBroadcast(intent);

where isEnabled is whether airplane mode is enabled or not.

  public static boolean getAirplaneMode(Context context) {
      try {
      int airplaneModeSetting = Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON);
      return airplaneModeSetting==1?true:false;
    } catch (SettingNotFoundException e) {
      return false;
    }
