Usage and Sample code

• All useful functions you can access via (RootManager)
  • RootManager.getInstance().
• A process suggested to do ROOT operation is that:
  • Check if this device is rooted, hence check if SU file exits. (RootManager.getIntance().hasRooted). If yes, this device may be rooted and maybe we can get super user permisson, otherwise we nerver can.
  • Try to get Super User Permission. (RootManager.getInstance().grantPermission()). If yes, it means we has become SU, failed otherwise. In this step, generally speaking, a popup dilog will be shown for users to choose Allow or Deny. This dialog is controlled by the Super User Application in your phone.
  • Run command, files or call functions as a SU.
• Access some sample code, check RootManagerExample please.
