I have an Android game where location is very important to the rules. There have been a bunch of cheaters and I have spent a long time closing off the ways that they exploit the system to cheat. One way they have been cheating is using a location spoofing app. I tried shutting that off by seeing if "Allow mock locations" is set to true and if it is I won't let the game run.
After some research I see that rooted phones can run the location spoofing app without having to set allow mock locations. I want to be able to determine if the phone is rooted so I can add extra checks to make sure that they are not spoofing their location. The only suggestion I have seen to do this is to check to see if /system/bin/su exists. I don't think this is a reliable way to do this but it is all I have so far. Can anyone suggest any other ways to determine if the phone is a rooted phone? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
