How to access files in Emulator SD Card using File Explorer?

Question

I have written a file "myData.txt" to the emulator SD card, and I can find it in mnt/sdcard/download using file explorer.

Is there a way to check if I have written correctly to the file without reading it again in my Android program? How about images? What can I do to view the images written in an SD card?

Answer 1

If you're using Eclipse with ADT :

In DDMS, on the "File Explorer" tab, there is a toolbar. There are 2 buttons on the left: arrow with disk (pull from device), and arrow with phone (push to device).

Select the file and then click "pull from device" to save the file on your HD.

Working with an emulator or device's file system

DDMS provides a File Explorer tab that allows you to view, copy, and delete files on the device. This feature is useful in examining files that are created by your application or if you want to transfer files to and from the device.

To work with an emulator or device's file system:

• In the Devices tab, select the emulator that you want to view the file system for.
• To copy a file from the device, locate the file in the File Explorer and click the Pull file button.
• To copy a file to the device, click the Push file button on the File Explorer tab.
