Recently, I've figured out that if I delete files from /sdcard/Download it deletes files from /storage/emulated/0/Download. And if I add the files into /sdcard/Download it duplicates then in /storage/emulated/0/Download.
So what is /storage/emulated/0/? For what purposes do we have it in our android file system?
From what I remember, this confusion arises due to keeping older paths for backwards compatibility. Basically, none of your files are getting duplicated, because both /sdcard/Download and /storage/emulated/0/Download point to the exact same location. The /0/ here is for the multi-user feature introduced in JB, and refers to the main user. If you had one more user, it'd be /1/ for that particular user, and so on.
Well, everything is pretty simple. /sdcard/Download is just a simlink (shortcut) to downloads folder and /storage/emulated/0/Download is actual path to folder.

I have downloaded and installed android-sdk-windows. Now I am planning for a reinstall of my Windows as the current ones seems to have got corrupted because of virus. Can someone tell me how to backup the android-sdk so that I dont have to redownload all the sources once again.
Attach an external hard drive/pen drive to your computer via a USB
port
Copy the folder where you installed android-sdk-windows (select the
folder then press Ctrl+C)
Open the hard drive once it is connected by double clicking on it.
Press Ctrl+V once you are inside the hard drive folder.

I am trying to download an old file from an old version of Android but i don't know how.
How can I download one of these files
If you want just download the latest version click tgz button. You will get archive with latest files.
If you want older version, click path history choose point in the history, scroll to the bottom where you will see directory view. Go again to core/res/res/raw and then click on tgz. You will get archive with those files in the chosen point of history.
As njzk2 said, there is a link to the archived version for download.

I need the APK file which downloaded during app installation from google play. I am unable to find it in the download folder. Is it possible to get it from download?
Not really. If you've downloaded it from the Android store, it will definitely not show you the apk. This is so people can't just send the apk of a paid app to oneanother.
Try with utility apps like "rom toolbox" for example, you can make backup apps in your phone in apk, there's a lot of apps that can do it anyway, but most probably you'll need root access.
try with Airdroid, awesome... you can transfer any data from your phone to computer and inverse through your wi-fi conection, i love it! ;-)

I have seen this a lot but always wanted to know how Factory Data reset works on an android device? What its the internal mechanism and what are the stuff that it clears ? Is there any specific partition that it clears ?
Any knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Factory Data Reset removes user data, third party applications, and returns your phone to the condition it was when shipped from the factory.
When performing a factory reset:
/system is untouched since it's normally read-only anyway
/data is formatted
/cache is formatted
/sdcard is not touched unless you specify. Note that apps on the sdcard will still be erased.
So, to answer your question, the system is not reflash end, but instead the data and cache partitions are formatted.
from here

After my Laptop abnormally shutdown due to charging issue, I lost all contents of my Import.java file. Though I saved my file 30 sec before PC shuts down. But after that when i open my laptop, that file is totally empty, though the java file in the PC is of 20KB.
I tried to open that java file with a notepad, and there are lots of spaces with no text.
Can I any way restore the content?
Right click on the file in Eclipse and choose Restore from Local History.... Eclipse will show you the versions of the file that it has saved. It may not have the very latest version but hopefully it will have something reasonably up to date.
