Answer 1

You can do this by using the WifiManager. Get the Wifi Service from the system, check if the wifi is turn on or off, then turn it on/off.

private WifiManager wifiManager;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bund) {
  wifiManager = (WifiManager) this.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
  if(wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()){
    wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
  }else{
    wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
  }
}

Remember do add the permissions also

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