Android: Android Light Sensor HOWTO
基于android 2.2 添加Light Sensor支持：
1) UI部分
2) framework部分
3) HAL 部分
4) Driver 部分
下面分别讨论:
1) UI部分
a) 打开亮度设置菜单的自动调整亮度checkbox
frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml :
- <bool name="config_automatic_brightness_available">false</bool>
+ <bool name="config_automatic_brightness_available">true</bool>
b) 同时设置Lux级，亮度级，以5级亮度为例
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">
+ <item>1000</item>
+ <item>2000</item>
+ <item>3000</item>
+ <item>4000</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
+ <item>20</item>
+ <item>80</item>
+ <item>120</item>
+ <item>160</item>
+ <item>250</item>
</integer-array>
autoBrightnessLevels 随便设，HAL层传上来的数据落在这几个值之间以区分级别
LcdBacklightValues 是5级亮度的实际值
2) framework部分
a) framework层的相关文件
./core/java/android/hardware/SensorEvent.java
./core/java/android/hardware/SensorListener.java
./core/java/android/hardware/ISensorService.aidl
./core/java/android/hardware/Sensor.java
./core/java/android/hardware/SensorEventListener.java
./core/jni/android_hardware_SensorManager.cpp
//SensorManager JNI
./core/java/android/hardware/SensorManager.java //SensorManager
./services/jni/com_android_server_SensorService.cpp //SensorSersvice JNI
./services/java/com/android/server/SensorService.java //SensorService
./services/java/com/android/server/PowerManagerService.java
Sensor系统相对比较简单，我们需要修改的更少：
添加Light Sensor只需要修改SensorManager.java, PowerManagerService.java两个文件
b) SensorManager.java:

c) PowerManagerService.java:
这里似乎一个系统bug
int lcdValue = getAutoBrightnessValue( - (mIsDocked ? value : mHighestLightSensorValue), - mLcdBacklightValues); + (true ? value : mHighestLightSensorValue), + mLcdBacklightValues);
3) HAL 部分
实现hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/sensor.h接口，写一个HAL层，
这部分请参考我上一篇文章: android sensor HAL范例，那个例子写的好级啦
需要说明的一点是，android系统的所有sensor公用一个HAL层文件，所以如果你的系统已有其他sensor那么需要在其他
sensor的HAL实现中添加light sensor
HAL层最终生成 /system/lib/hw/sensors.xxx.so
4) Driver 部分
不管啥接口的light sensor，请把它写成一个input设备，
通过/dev/input/eventX来提供数据
这样在HAL层polling的时候就可以
nread = read(ls_fd, &event, sizeof(event));
if (event->type == EV_ABS) { LOGV("light-level type: %d code: %d value: %-5d time: %ds", event->type, event->code, event->value, (int)event->time.tv_sec); if (event->code == EVENT_TYPE_LIGHT) { struct input_absinfo absinfo; int index; if (!ioctl(fd, EVIOCGABS(ABS_DISTANCE), &absinfo)) { index = event->value; if (index >= 0) { new_sensors |= SENSORS_LIGHT; if (index >= ARRAY_SIZE(sLuxValues)) { index = ARRAY_SIZE(sLuxValues) - 1; } dev->sensors[ID_L].light = sLuxValues[index]; } } } }
.light 最终传给 PowerManager, PowerManager根据config_autoBrightnessLevels数组
得到config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues数据具体亮度值，然后调整亮度
比如 .light = 2500.0
3000.0 < 2500.0 < 4000.0 对应的LcdBacklightValues 就是160
