<a name="androidCameraIntroduction"></a><h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Android's camera subsystem connects the camera application to the application framework and user space libraries, which in turn communicate with the camera hardware layer that operates the physical camera.</p>
<p>The diagram below illustrates the structure of the camera subsystem.</p>
<p><img src="androidCameraArchitecture.gif"></p>
<a name="androidCameraBuildingDriver"></a><h2>Building a Camera Library</h2>
<p>To implement a camera driver, create a shared library that implements the interface defined in <code>CameraHardwareInterface.h</code>. You must name your shared library <code>libcamera.so</code> so that it will get loaded from <code>/system/lib</code> at runtime. Place libcamera sources and <code>Android.mk</code> in <code>partner/acme/chipset_or_board/libcamera/</code>.</p>
<p>The following stub <code>Android.mk</code> file ensures that <code>libcamera</code> compiles and links to the appropriate libraries:</p>
<pre class="prettify">
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := libcamera
LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := \
libutils \
librpc \
liblog
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += MyCameraHardware.cpp
LOCAL_CFLAGS +=
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES +=
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += \
libcamera-common \
libclock-rpc \
libcommondefs-rpc
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
</pre>
