A suggestion to call RootManager:
1. check if this device is rooted (RootManager.getInstance().hasRooted). If yes, this device might be rooted so that we can obtain superuser permission, otherwise we cannot.
2. try to get root permission via (RootManager.getInstance.obtainPermission()). Then, for most cases, a dialog will be shown to users, GRAND or DENY the full access to the device. This dialog is controlled by SU app such as SuperSU and KingUser, etc.
3. RootManager will return the result according to the user choice.
4. once obtaining the root access, developers can run commands or call functions.
