i use workaround only works rooted phones.

the setmobiledataenabled method removed connectivitymanager 2 methods getdataenabled , setdataenabled added telephonymanager functionality.

public void setmobiledatastate(boolean mobiledataenabled) {     try     {         telephonymanager telephonyservice = (telephonymanager) getsystemservice(context.telephony_service);          method setmobiledataenabledmethod = telephonyservice.getclass().getdeclaredmethod("setdataenabled", boolean.class);          if (null != setmobiledataenabledmethod)         {             setmobiledataenabledmethod.invoke(telephonyservice, mobiledataenabled);         }     }     catch (exception ex)     {         log.e(tag, "error setting mobile data state", ex);     } }  public boolean getmobiledatastate() {     try     {         telephonymanager telephonyservice = (telephonymanager) getsystemservice(context.telephony_service);          method getmobiledataenabledmethod = telephonyservice.getclass().getdeclaredmethod("getdataenabled");          if (null != getmobiledataenabledmethod)         {             boolean mobiledataenabled = (boolean) getmobiledataenabledmethod.invoke(telephonyservice);              return mobiledataenabled;         }     }     catch (exception ex)     {         log.e(tag, "error getting mobile data state", ex);     }      return false; } 

but need add permission (modify_phone_state) manifest file otherwise securityexception.
