How to Add Files to SD card of Android Virtual Device (AVD) Emulator

Copying Files From/To Device Emulator:
         Files can be copied from/to android device emulator in two ways. One is from Eclipse and the other is from the command prompt. I prefer using Eclipse, since it is easy and provides a good UI to copy files. 


1) In Eclipse

  • Go to Debug mode when the Emulator is running ( Debug button is available at the top right corner of the Eclipse Window )
  • Select Window --> Show View --> Other --> Android --> File Explorer


File Explorer View in Eclipse
Pull Push
  • Now Select sdcard and copy required files by pressing Push Button
  • Or Select the required file from SD Card and press Pull Button to save them on local system
2) In Command Prompt
             To copy files using command prompt, follow the guide given by Google
