I wish to add lines to a .conf file in the root folder programmatically from my app. My users will have root access, and my app's purpose is to help them edit a .conf file. Suggestions/tutorials?

Your users would have to have rooted devices and give the application root permission.

                    yeah I saw that, and mentioned that my users would have rooted devices. I want to know how to give my app superuser permissions? Sorry if this is unclear – bunbun Aug 01 '11 at 14:21

                    Ah sorry- missed the bit about root access. Might try this then: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3653504/android-using-super-user-permissions-allowing-access – Nathan Fig Aug 01 '11 at 14:30
