Question

I tried to create a folder using following command in terminal of Android emulator running on Windows 7 environment.

$ cd sdcard
$ mkdir pictures

But this gives "mkdir fail for pictures, permission denied" error. How can I correct this ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try

$ adb shell "mkdir /sdcard/pictures"

Answer 2

Make sure you created an SD Card for your AVD.

In "Android Virtual Device Manager" -> Choose your AVD -> Click "Edit..." -> Specify Size for your SD Card and click OK.

Next time you'll launch your AVD you could use:

$ adb shell
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/your_folder

to create your folder.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Add this on the AndroidManifest.xml

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

Hope that helps
