Android Device Driver Development

Planning to reach clients through a mobile application? Then it’s a smart decision to target the owners of the most popular mobile OS. Our team offers custom Android driver development for peripheral integration and custom Android ROM development.

What we do

We can make your application compatible with Android-based devices. The team provides Android driver development for multimedia, storage, connectivity, I/O devices, and sensors. Our services include periphery integration for devices based on both Android and Android Things. We can also customize Android to fit the requirements of your custom computing device.

Peripheral Integration

User drivers in Android Things enable you to access and control peripheral hardware from an Android Things app. If there isn’t an Android Things driver for your peripheral, we will develop it. From Gingerbread to Android P, we build drivers from scratch for all Android versions. Along with Android device driver development, we port drivers running on new versions of Android to older devices.

Custom Android ROM Development

We take all the advantages of Android’s open-source environment and create custom ROMs to extend device functionality. Custom ROM is a distribution of Android that allows one to tailor a custom device and get the latest OS updates just in time. We can develop a custom Android OS image to change the look and feel of your device, improve its performance, or unlock extra features.

1

We get acquainted with the concept of the future solution and sign a non-disclosure agreement. The team gathers project requirements, studies relevant documents, and analyzes rival products on the market. At this phase, a preliminary project evaluation is made.

2

We contact the customer to confirm the project requirements. Then we create a technical specification and set a budget and deadlines.

3

We make the final evaluation of the project, make up a team, and schedule its workload.

4

We sign a contract for custom Android device driver development. The team gets to work.

5

We select libraries, languages, and tools and start development, factoring in device features and hardware configuration. The team identifies and eliminates bugs and optimizes the performance of the software. Customers receive daily reports on the progress. If necessary, the plan can be amended.

6

The team tests all the software functions. We check its performance under corresponding operating conditions and run some tests required for product certification. If necessary, the product is then modified.

7

After the tests, we finalize the necessary documentation. We can prepare manuals if the product is designed for in-house use.

8

When the development process is finished, customers can enjoy a free warranty period. During this time, the team will fix any bugs and defects in the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read this information to better understand Android device driver development.

What do I get when the project is finished?

Upon project completion, the customer receives a fully functional software product, source codes, and detailed technical documentation. The customer will receive all the necessary instructions on how to use the product. We will also answer any questions and provide training if necessary.

What about intellectual property rights?

The cession of intellectual property rights is legislated in our contracts. We also sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect any sensitive information. We will mention your project on our website and other platforms only with your permission.

How are Android drivers different from Linux drivers?

While it’s true that Android is based on the Linux kernel, this operating system isn’t exactly the same as Linux. There are some differences in the API code of Android and Linux kernel drivers. In addition, Linux drivers are developed in the C programming language, while Android drivers are created in Java.

Can I use Android for my embedded device?

Absolutely! Especially if your device offers a graphical user interface. Android is a great platform for interface design. We can create a custom Android image for your embedded system.

What popular Android ROMs have you worked with?

  • AOSP
  • CyanogenMod
  • MIUI

Can I use the same Android driver with different host devices (SBC)?

Yes, you can. As long as your driver is compatible with the Android OS version and the version of the Linux kernel that Android runs on. If you need our advice or expert opinion, we are ready to help you out and provide a tutorial on the use of Android drivers with different hardware.

What is the main difference between Android and Android Things?

Android Things is a modified version of Android built for IoT and embedded systems. Android Things is more compact and intended for low-power devices with limited memory. It differs from Android in the number of layouts, features, and libraries. 

Integra delivers Android Things projects as part of our Android device driver development services.

I have a Windows application. Can you port it to Android?

Yes, it is possible to port your application to another platform. First, we need to take a look at the app to see if it requires minor tweaks or a complete product redesign.

Do you provide software testing services?

Yes, we do! That’s a part of our software development services. Our quality assurance department uses manual and automated testing methods to check the software we develop so engineers can fix issues before the product is released.

Can you guarantee the quality of the product?

We pay great attention to the quality of our work. The customer receives fully functional software and a detailed user manual. After finishing the project, we provide a free warranty period, during which the team will eliminate any discovered bugs. During the post-warranty period, we can also provide advice on possible modernization and modification of your product.

What is the minimum completion time?

The timing of a project largely depends on its specifics, complexity, scale, choice of components, and logistics. For example, a project audit can take 1-2 months, while AI-based software development usually lasts much longer. We always set realistic deadlines when preparing the spec and stick to the schedule at all project stages.

Who are your customers?

We develop projects for private enterprises and public organizations: small, medium, and large businesses, mining and manufacturing enterprises, startups, healthcare organizations, and enterprises engaged in other industries.
