Seems reasonable enough that one could write a different interface for
changing this setting. "Rings Extended" is a great example of such an
improvement. I suggest checking out the android source and seeing how
this is done in the settings app. For instance, in packages/apps/
Settings/src/com/android/settings/AirplaneModeEnabler.java , this is
done with the following code:
Settings.System.putInt(mContext.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON,
enabling ? 1 : 0);
Intent intent = new Intent
(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", enabling);
mContext.sendBroadcast(intent);
This would most certainly require to add security requirements to the
AndroidManifest of your app.
I'm not 100% certain that this possible to do even with the proper
security flags, and I agree that you shouldn't do this without
specific action by the user, as it affects system elements outside of
your particular app.
