Integrating GPS to Android

[Mayank Rana]

Hi All,

 

There are three ways Layer interaction happens in Android as given in Android presentation.

1. App -> Runtime Service -> Lib

2. App -> Runtime Service -> Native Service -> Lib

3. App -> Runtime Service -> Native Daemon -> Lib

 

My question is regarding integrating GPS using either of above approach. In Presentation it is mentioned that Approach 1 is used for GPS, Approach 2 is used for Audio and Approach 3 is used for RIL.

 

Let us say I want to Integrate my GPS driver using approach 2 or 3 instead of approach 1. Is this feasible or not ? or Android has design specific interaction mechnism for different Hardware Driver/Software. or Can I use any of above interaction mechnism to integrate GPS on Android?

 

PS:I have understood the GPS Interface API @ HAL of Android using Approach 1.  

 

Thanks.
