I have an error due to the contents of a file stored in internal storage on my Android Emulator. (I wrote it to file). Is there a way I can view the internal storage used by my app in windows?
I've searched through my whole project folder, sdk, workspace etc and cant find anything. I saw someone in another question say it was in the /data folder, but i dont know where to look for that either.
Thanks

Jul 22, 2018 - Because the actual paths to internal and external storage may vary from device to device or from Android version to Android version, it is not.
If you want to view the folder/file structure of the running emulator, you can do that with the Android Device Monitor which is included with the SDK.
Specifically, it has a File Explorer, which allows you to browse the folder structure on the device. It also has buttons which give you the adb push/pull functionality but from a GUI if this is easier for you to use.

They are stored in an img file inside the avd directory. If you are using Linux you can mount the img file via:
Not sure if there is a way in Windows or Mac to view the contents of the img since they are either in ext3, ext4, or yaffs file system format (depending on what you are emulating) and windows doesn't easily support those file systems.
Your best bet is to use adb to copy the file directly out of the emulator while it is running as shown in adb --help:

In
Android N
emulator you can easily get access Internal Memory.Go to Emulator:
Settings -> Memory -> Internal Storage -> Others
Then a pop up will open. Click on
explore
. Then you will get access of Internal Storage.![Path Path](https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/debugging/android-sdk-emulator/configuration-and-use/Images/mac/13-new-definition.png)

I have created an Android emulator (Android Virtual Device), but I am unable to find out the SD card I have built during creation of this.
How can I find the SD card and its content and also how to install APK files to the AVD?

- switch to DDMS perspective
- select the emulator in devices list, whose sdcard you want to explore.
- open File Explorer tab on right hand side.
- expand tree structure. mnt/sdcard/
refer to image below
To install apk manually:copy your apk to to sdk/platform-tools folder and run following command in the same folder

I have used the following procedure.
Procedure to install the apk files in Android Emulator(AVD):
Check your installed directory(ex: C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdktools), whether it has the adb.exe or not). If not present in this folder, then download the attachment here, extract the zip files. You will get adb files, copy and paste those three files inside tools folder
Run AVD manager from C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdk and start the Android Emulator.
Copy and paste the apk file inside the C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdktools
- Go to Start -> Run -> cmd
- Type cd “C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdktools”
- Type adb install example.apk
- After getting success command
- Go to Application icon in Android emulator, we can see the yourapplication

On linux sdcard image is located in:
You can mount it for example with (assuming /mnt/sdcard is existing directory):
To install apk file use adb:

These days the location of the emulated SD card is at
/storage/emulated/0

if you are using Eclipse. You should switch to DDMS perspective from top-right corner there after selecting your device you can see folder tree. to install apk manually you can use adb command

DDMS is deprecated in android 3.0. 'Device file explorer'can be used to browse files.

//in linux
// in your home folder .android hidden folder is there go to that there you can find the avd folder open that and check your avd name that you created open that and you can see the
sdcard.img
that is your sdcard file.//To install apk in linux

Adding to the usefile DDMS/File Explorer solution, for those that don't know, if you want to read a file you need to select the 'Pull File from Device' button on the file viewer toolbar. Unfortunately you can't just drag out, or double click to read.

To install apk in avd, just manually drag and drop the apk file in the opened emulated device
The same if you want to copy a file to the sd card
