android - To use sudo feature, what should I wrote in the my application?

Question

To use sudo feature, what should I write in the my application? Should I write something? If yes, can you tell me how I can write sudo application? Do I need to change manifest.xml, or add some Java code?

Assuming the device is rooted and your app has been granted superuser permissions, you can use the following method to run commands as root:

public static void runAsRoot(String[] cmds){
        Process p;
        try {
            p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
            DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());  
            BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            for (String tmpCmd : cmds) {
                os.writeBytes(tmpCmd+"
");
                String test;
                while((test = bf.readLine()) != null)
                {
                    Log.i(TAG, test);
                }
            }

            //os.writeBytes("exit
");  
            os.flush();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Just pass it a list of commands in a String array.
