In the AVD emulator, how to see the sdcard folder? and install apk in AVD?

I created an Android emulator (Android Virtual Device), but I could not recognize the SD card that I created at the time of creation.

How to find the SD card and its contents, as well as how to install the APK files in the AVD ?

I used the following procedure.

The procedure for installing apk files in Android Emulator (AVD):

Check the installed directory (for example: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Android \ android-sdk \ tools) if it has an adb.exe file or not). If this folder is not there, then download the attachment here , extract the zip files. You will get adb files, copy and paste these three files into the tools folder

Run the AVD manager from C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Android \ android-sdk and run the Android emulator.

Copy and paste the apk file into C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Android \ android-sdk \ tools

  • Go to Start β†’ Run β†’ cmd

  • Enter cd "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Android \ android-sdk \ tools"

  • Type adb install example.apk

  • After receiving the team success

  • Go to the application icon in the Android emulator, we can see your application

The linux sdcard file contains:

 ~/.android/avd/<avd name>.avd/sdcard.img

You can mount it, for example, using (it is assumed that / mnt / sdcard is an existing directory):

 sudo mount sdcard.img -o loop /mnt/sdcard

To install the apk file, use adb:

 adb install your_app.apk

The location of the emulated SD card is currently located at /storage/emulated/0

// on linux

// in your .android home folder, the hidden folder goes where you can find the open avd folder and check your public name avd, and you can see sdcard.img , which is your sdcard file.

// To install apk on linux

DDMS is deprecated in Android 3.0. "Device File Browser" can be used to view files.

Adding a solution for using files to a DDMS / File Explorer file, for those who don’t know, if you want to read the file, you need to select the "Extract file from device" button on the file viewing toolbar. Unfortunately, you cannot just drag or double-click to read.
