I can read settings like this, for example:

final String mytest = System.getString(this.getContentResolver(), System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON);

...but can't seem to write to settings using putString, no matter what I've tried. Maybe it is the scope of this.getContentResolver()??? I'm a newbie, so who knows, maybe it can't be done, or it's just syntax? Currently the code is in the onCreate of an Activity class.

Any insight is much appreciated.
