u see, there is a big difference between C and java programming: class libraries vs C API. In java, you don't access the virtual device drivers directly, but instead uses the standard class libraries provided by Java, where the low level libraries accessing the hardware have all been written for you.

and start navigating around looking for samples.

These low level libraries are in turn written in C, and communicate with Java via JNI / NDK:
