RootTools is a Java library for Android that simplifies working with root access on rooted devices, providing helpers for running su/superuser shell commands, checking root status, and managing busybox. It is a long-standing utility library for Android apps that need elevated privileges.
Use cases
- run shell commands as root from an Android app
- check whether an Android device is rooted
- install or manage busybox on a rooted device
- request and verify superuser permissions programmatically
- execute privileged file operations on Android
When to choose
- you are building an Android app that needs root/su access
- you want a ready-made Java API instead of shelling out to su manually
- you need busybox detection and installation helpers on Android
When to avoid
- your app does not target rooted devices
- you need a library with an explicit license or active maintenance guarantees
- you are developing for non-Android platforms
