AirDrop uses [AWDL](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19587701/what-is-awdl-apple-wireless-direct-link-and-how-does-it-work), Apple's own proprietary take on peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. This works on top of 802.11 itself, the low-level Wi-Fi protocol, and thus can not be implemented without messing around with the Wi-Fi adapter drivers and raw packets and all that. It might be possible on Android, but it would at the very least require root and possibly a custom kernel. There is [an open-source implementation of AWDL and AirDrop for Linux](https://owlink.org/code/). +There is already an implementation of AirDrop on Android: [WarpShare](https://github.com/gaganmalvi/WarpShare). Your mileage may vary as it doesn't get frequent updates. There is also [an open-source implementation of AWDL and AirDrop for Linux](https://owlink.org/code/).
