Thank you Justin. I prefer that the user disables communications themselves.
I was aware of the ConnectivityManager but what is not clear is how to verify that the radios are off. No connectivity doesn't necessarily mean that the radios aren't looking for a signal or broadcasting a periodic beacon. Take the case of use of the device in an airplane. The radios must be off in order to use the device to play games or listen to mp3s. I need to verify this in order to activate an activity.
