Hi All,

I got some library file to support Biometric sensor device for android. The library is libfpc4030.a

My Doubts are,

1. What is *.a" file?

A bit of googling would reveal that *.a are static library files on any unix system.

2. Is libfpc4030.a is an driver support library ?. If so where exactly keep this in android source code and compile?

A better place to ask this question would be android mailing list.

2. These library file will communicate directly to hardware or we need to write any driver support code ?

AFAIK, the libraries make system call to kernel which in turn interacts with hardware using device drivers.

Thanks
