Android defines a user space C abstraction interface for LED hardware. The interface header is defined in
hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/lights.h.
In order to integrate LEDs with Android you need to build a shared library that implements this interface.
The types of logical lights currently supported by Android include:
- Backlight
- Keyboard
- Buttons
- Battery
- Notifications
- Attention
Building a Lights Library
To implement a Lights driver, create a shared library that implements the interface defined in lights.h. You must name your shared library
liblights.so so that it will get loaded from /system/lib at runtime.
