除了@Kevins的回答之外，我最近在使用他的系统时发现，Nexus 7.1对所有三个方法都返回false——没有哪个命令，没有测试键，SuperSU没有安装在/system/app中。

我补充说:

public static boolean checkRootMethod4(Context context) {
    return isPackageInstalled("eu.chainfire.supersu", context);     
}

private static boolean isPackageInstalled(String packagename, Context context) {
    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
    try {
        pm.getPackageInfo(packagename, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
        return true;
    } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
        return false;
    }
}

这在某些情况下有点不太有用(如果你需要保证root访问)，因为SuperSU完全有可能安装在没有SU访问的设备上。

然而，由于SuperSU可以安装并工作，但不在/system/app目录下，这个额外的情况将会根除(哈哈)这样的情况。

下面是一个类，它将以三种方式之一检查Root。

/** @author Kevin Kowalewski */
public class RootUtil {
    public static boolean isDeviceRooted() {
        return checkRootMethod1() || checkRootMethod2() || checkRootMethod3();
    }

    private static boolean checkRootMethod1() {
        String buildTags = android.os.Build.TAGS;
        return buildTags != null && buildTags.contains("test-keys");
    }

    private static boolean checkRootMethod2() {
        String[] paths = { "/system/app/Superuser.apk", "/sbin/su", "/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su", "/data/local/xbin/su", "/data/local/bin/su", "/system/sd/xbin/su",
                "/system/bin/failsafe/su", "/data/local/su", "/su/bin/su"};
        for (String path : paths) {
            if (new File(path).exists()) return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    private static boolean checkRootMethod3() {
        Process process = null;
        try {
            process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "/system/xbin/which", "su" });
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
            if (in.readLine() != null) return true;
            return false;
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            return false;
        } finally {
            if (process != null) process.destroy();
        }
    }
}

在rootbox中使用我的库非常简单。检查所需的代码如下:

    //Pass true to <Shell>.start(...) call to run as superuser
    Shell shell = null;
    try {
            shell = Shell.start(true);
    } catch (IOException exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
    }
    if (shell == null)
            // We failed to execute su binary
            return;
    if (shell.isRoot()) {
            // Verified running as uid 0 (root), can continue with commands
            ...
    } else
            throw Exception("Unable to gain root access. Make sure you pressed Allow/Grant in superuser prompt.");

以下是我的代码，基于这里的一些答案:

 /**
   * Checks if the phone is rooted.
   * 
   * @return <code>true</code> if the phone is rooted, <code>false</code>
   * otherwise.
   */
  public static boolean isPhoneRooted() {

    // get from build info
    String buildTags = android.os.Build.TAGS;
    if (buildTags != null && buildTags.contains("test-keys")) {
      return true;
    }

    // check if /system/app/Superuser.apk is present
    try {
      File file = new File("/system/app/Superuser.apk");
      if (file.exists()) {
        return true;
      }
    } catch (Throwable e1) {
      // ignore
    }

    return false;
  }

如果你不想使用jar文件，请使用下面的代码:

public static boolean findBinary(String binaryName) {
        boolean found = false;
        if (!found) {
            String[] places = { "/sbin/", "/system/bin/", "/system/xbin/",
                    "/data/local/xbin/", "/data/local/bin/",
                    "/system/sd/xbin/", "/system/bin/failsafe/", "/data/local/" };
            for (String where : places) {
                if (new File(where + binaryName).exists()) {
                    found = true;

                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return found;
    }

程序将尝试查找su文件夹:

private static boolean isRooted() {
        return findBinary("su");
    }

例子:

if (isRooted()) {
   textView.setText("Device Rooted");

} else {
   textView.setText("Device Unrooted");
}

更新2017

你现在可以用谷歌Safetynet API做到这一点。SafetyNet API提供了认证API，它可以帮助您评估应用程序运行的Android环境的安全性和兼容性。

这种认证可以帮助确定特定设备是否被篡改或修改过。

认证API返回如下所示的JWS响应

{
  "nonce": "R2Rra24fVm5xa2Mg",
  "timestampMs": 9860437986543,
  "apkPackageName": "com.package.name.of.requesting.app",
  "apkCertificateDigestSha256": ["base64 encoded, SHA-256 hash of the
                                  certificate used to sign requesting app"],
  "apkDigestSha256": "base64 encoded, SHA-256 hash of the app's APK",
  "ctsProfileMatch": true,
  "basicIntegrity": true,
}

解析此响应可以帮助您确定设备是否已扎根

根设备似乎导致ctsProfileMatch=false。

您可以在客户端执行此操作，但建议在服务器端解析响应。 一个基本的客户端服务器架构与安全网API将看起来像这样
