Answer 1

I don't think the permission string has changed ever since. Just add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>

You need to add "virtual" external memory on your emulator first. In AVD, select your emulator, choose Edit, then type in the size of the sdcard you want under SD Card - Size.

you can follow this tutorial : http://androidblogger.blogspot.de/2009/02/tutorial-how-to-emulate-sd-card-with.html to create an sdCard on your emulator.

Then add this permission : <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> on your manifest file.
