When i was new to Android Emulator , i had searched up the Whole Internet and still not able to find , How to add or Move Data like Music , Videos and Images to Android Emulator. Here is my short but Helpfull Guide...
I hope you have installed the Android Emulator and created AVD .
How to Install An application
To Install an Application say "example.apk"
That's it
Moving Data into or from Android SDCard
Believe me it's even easier than installing an app because there will be no error to Face..
To transfer file into sdcard : there is a code namely "Push" for this...
To transfer file from sdcard : For moving a file from Emulator SDCard there is code namely "pull".
I hope you have installed the Android Emulator and created AVD .
- Go to your AVD Manager in root Folder and Start your AVD Device in Emulator, wait till Homescreen of Android comes Up
- Now you have to open the root Folder of Android Emulator , In my case it is "Android-sdk-Windows", under that you'll find a Folder namely "Platform-Tools"
- You'll find an Application called "adb" , this is provided with Android SDK by Default, you don't need to Download it.
- Now Hold Shift and Right Click on blank area inside the Folder , In Right Click Context Menu Click on "Open Command Windows Here"
- Now on your CMD Windows , Type "adb devices" , it will bring up the List of Devices "adb" can recognize and working [in my case it shows Emulator-5554].. If your Device is Here in List then proceed Further
How to Install An application
To Install an Application say "example.apk"
- Place the file example.apk in the same folder as of adb , that is Platform-tools , or in a sub-folder like Platform-tools/abc
- Now if you are running only a single Device then in Command Prompt type
adb install example.apk
or
adb install abc/example.apk [if you created a sub folder "abc"]
and Hit enter - Now If you are Running Multiple Devices or any Android Phone is attached to USB , then first Get List of attached Android Devices by "adb Devices" . Let you want to install App in Device "emulator-5554" , then Type
adb -s emulator-5554 install example.apk
oradb -s emulator-5554 install abc/example.apk [if your app in a sub folder "abc"]
That's it
Moving Data into or from Android SDCard
Believe me it's even easier than installing an app because there will be no error to Face..
To transfer file into sdcard : there is a code namely "Push" for this...
- Place the file in the same directory as of adb or create a sub-folder.
- Now say you want to add an image namely "my-pic.jpg"
adb -s emulator-5554 push my-pic.jpg /sdcard/
To transfer file from sdcard : For moving a file from Emulator SDCard there is code namely "pull".
- First open Gallery of your Emulator Android > select media > click on menu button > Details to find out the name of File present in SDcard. say "example.mp3"
- Now in Command Prompt Windows type
adb -s emulator-5554 pull /sdcard/example.mp3
and hit Enter. - Voila !! Magic File comes to the same Folder of "Platform-tools"
