SuperSU app (chainfire) latest version 2.82 I’m pleased to inform the community of an easier way to root android emulator (run from standalone Android SDK) How to root android emulator (Android 7.1.1/ Nougat) Once the AVD is rebooted, root access is gone.

How come Android SDK/Emulator does not offers such a feature?Įdit4: The answer by xavier_fakerat seems to work perfectly fine, however since Android Studio version 3.1 this doesn't seem to be a permanent rooting. How do I root an Android virtual device, running Android 7.1.1, effectively allowing installed apps root access?Įdit: I'd rather not resort to paid emulators like Genymotion if possible.Įdit3: Genymotion appears to be a viable solution, as an alternative emulator. I think it's quite odd that there's no option to toggle root - this is after all an SDK. Most answer haven been posted rather long ago. I've researched this topic now for a while and have seen various approaches. Now I know that I can adb root and I have a root shell, but that doesn't allow the apps I install to have root access.

I need to test a number of things, amongst others, some applications require root access to the device. I'm using the official Android SDK with the Android Emulator to create a virtual Android 7.1.1 (x86).
