How can i turn off 3G/Data programmatically on Android?

How can I turn off 3G/Data programmatically on Android?

Not Wifi, but 3G/Data.

There is no official way to do this. However, it can be achieved unofficially with reflection.

For Android 2.3 and above:

private void setMobileDataEnabled(Context context, boolean enabled) {
    final ConnectivityManager conman = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    final Class conmanClass = Class.forName(conman.getClass().getName());
    final Field iConnectivityManagerField = conmanClass.getDeclaredField("mService");
    iConnectivityManagerField.setAccessible(true);
    final Object iConnectivityManager = iConnectivityManagerField.get(conman);
    final Class iConnectivityManagerClass = Class.forName(iConnectivityManager.getClass().getName());
    final Method setMobileDataEnabledMethod = iConnectivityManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod("setMobileDataEnabled", Boolean.TYPE);
    setMobileDataEnabledMethod.setAccessible(true);

    setMobileDataEnabledMethod.invoke(iConnectivityManager, enabled);
}

This also requires the following permission.

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>

For Android 2.2 and below:

Method dataConnSwitchmethod;
Class telephonyManagerClass;
Object ITelephonyStub;
Class ITelephonyClass;

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context
        .getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

if(telephonyManager.getDataState() == TelephonyManager.DATA_CONNECTED){
    isEnabled = true;
}else{
    isEnabled = false;  
}   

telephonyManagerClass = Class.forName(telephonyManager.getClass().getName());
Method getITelephonyMethod = telephonyManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
getITelephonyMethod.setAccessible(true);
ITelephonyStub = getITelephonyMethod.invoke(telephonyManager);
ITelephonyClass = Class.forName(ITelephonyStub.getClass().getName());

if (isEnabled) {
    dataConnSwitchmethod = ITelephonyClass
            .getDeclaredMethod("disableDataConnectivity");
} else {
    dataConnSwitchmethod = ITelephonyClass
            .getDeclaredMethod("enableDataConnectivity");   
}
dataConnSwitchmethod.setAccessible(true);
dataConnSwitchmethod.invoke(ITelephonyStub);

This required the following permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />

Note that both of these are unofficial and may no longer work. No more proof of this kind of thing breaking should be needed, as the 2.2 and below method broke on 2.3.

Surround the code with try/catch blocks

public void mobiledataenable(boolean enabled) {

try { 
        final ConnectivityManager conman = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        final Class<?> conmanClass = Class.forName(conman.getClass().getName());
        final Field iConnectivityManagerField = conmanClass.getDeclaredField("mService");
        iConnectivityManagerField.setAccessible(true);
        final Object iConnectivityManager = iConnectivityManagerField.get(conman);
        final Class<?> iConnectivityManagerClass = Class.forName(iConnectivityManager.getClass().getName());
        final Method setMobileDataEnabledMethod = iConnectivityManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod("setMobileDataEnabled", Boolean.TYPE);
        setMobileDataEnabledMethod.setAccessible(true);
        setMobileDataEnabledMethod.invoke(iConnectivityManager, enabled);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }     
}

In the Manifest, add the following permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>

 public void onClick(View view){
        ConnectivityManager dataManager;
        dataManager  = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        Method dataMtd = null;
        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, true);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }   
    }

I'm still on 2.1, so this solution works for me.

But you need also to include MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permision.

Full code (with a toogle button) 2.1:

package com.rivaldo.turn3gonoff;

import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.CompoundButton;
import android.widget.ToggleButton;

public class Turn3GOnOff extends Activity {

Method dataConnSwitchmethod_ON;
Method dataConnSwitchmethod_OFF;
Class telephonyManagerClass;
Object ITelephonyStub;
Class ITelephonyClass;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_turn3_gon_off);

    GetDataConnectionAPI();

    ToggleButton toggle = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton);
    toggle.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
            if (isChecked) {
                turn3GOn();
            } else {
                turn3GOff();
            }
        }
    });

}

private void GetDataConnectionAPI() {
    this.getApplicationContext();
    TelephonyManager telephonyManager = 
                    (TelephonyManager) this.getApplicationContext().
                                              getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

    try {
        telephonyManagerClass = Class.forName(telephonyManager.getClass().getName());
        Method getITelephonyMethod = telephonyManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
        getITelephonyMethod.setAccessible(true);
        ITelephonyStub = getITelephonyMethod.invoke(telephonyManager);
        ITelephonyClass = Class.forName(ITelephonyStub.getClass().getName());

        dataConnSwitchmethod_OFF = 
                        ITelephonyClass.getDeclaredMethod("disableDataConnectivity");
        dataConnSwitchmethod_ON = ITelephonyClass.getDeclaredMethod("enableDataConnectivity");   
    } catch (Exception e) { // ugly but works for me
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
private void turn3GOn() {
    dataConnSwitchmethod_ON.setAccessible(true);
    try {
        dataConnSwitchmethod_ON.invoke(ITelephonyStub);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private void turn3GOff() {
    dataConnSwitchmethod_OFF.setAccessible(true);
    try {
        dataConnSwitchmethod_OFF.invoke(ITelephonyStub);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

How can i turn off 3G/Data programmatically on Android?
