Android defines a user space C abstraction interface for GPS hardware. The interface header is defined ininclude/hardware/gps.h
. In order to integate GPS with Android, you need to build a shared library that implements this interface.
Building a GPS Library
To implement a GPS driver, create a shared library that implements the interface defined ingps.h
. You must name your shared library libgps.so
so that it will get loaded from/system/lib
at runtime. Place GPS sources and Android.mk in vendor/acme/chipset_or_board/gps/
(where "acme" is your organization name and "chipset_or_board" is your hardware target).
The following stub Android.mk
file ensures that libgps
compiles and links to the appropriate libraries:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE := libgps LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES:= \ # include any static library dependencies LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := \ # include any shared library dependencies LOCAL_SRC_FILES += \ # include your source files. eg. MyGpsLibrary.cpp LOCAL_CFLAGS += \ # include any needed compile flags LOCAL_C_INCLUDES:= \ # include any needed local header files include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
