+# Sensors #
+
+Android defines a user space C abstraction interface for sensor hardware. The interface header is defined in
+`hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/sensors.h`.
+In order to integrate sensors with Android you need to build a shared library that implements this interface.
+
+The types of sensors currently supported by Android include:
+
+- Accelerometer
+- Magnetic Field
+- Orientation
+- Gyroscope
+- Light
+- Pressure
+- Temperature
+- Proximity
+
+## Building a Sensor Library ##
+
+To implement a Sensors driver, create a shared library that implements the interface defined in `sensors.h`. You must name your shared library
+`libsensors.so` so that it will get loaded from `/system/lib` at runtime.
+
+The following stub file, `Android.mk`, ensures that `libsensors` compiles and links to the appropriate libraries:
+
+ LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
+ include $(CLEAR_VARS)
+
+ LOCAL_MODULE := sensors
+
+ LOCAL_PRELINK_MODULE := false
+
+ LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_OUT_SHARED_LIBRARIES)/hw
+
+ LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := liblog
+ # include any shared library dependencies
+
+ LOCAL_SRC_FILES := sensors.c
+
+ include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
+
