h6. What
We should expose a function that allows the end developer to check if the underlying device is rooted.
h6. Why
A rotted device can be used to modify application code or recover application data. We should provide a function to allow a user to check if the device is rooted so that they can take actions to protect the user and their data.
h6. How
We can use the [RootBeer|https://github.com/scottyab/rootbeer] library to check if the user's device is rooted.
{code:java}
/**
* Detect if the device is rooted.
*/
public void boolean detectRoot() {
RootBeer rootBeer = new RootBeer(context);
if (rootBeer.isRooted()) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
{code}
