[Q] How to write drivers for Android
Ashok,
Writing android drivers is no different then writing drivers for linux. In fact many linux drivers would simply just work on the android.
Here is a little reading list for you if you want to find out more about linux driver development:

Hope this helps

If you are familiar with Linux kernel and Linux based development then it will not that tough for you since Android uses modified version of Linux kernel. For tutorial source for Android kernel go to:
