I love using Genymotion emulator with such brilliant speed to load Android. It has very wonderful speed but still have some instability performance.
How I can access file in /data/data/ in Genymotion emulator from file explorer in Eclipse? I know that in this device has also installed Superuser permission so I can use this application in root condition. But how I can access this from file explorer?
I know such operation using adb-shell and then basic terminal command also. I have successfully with this method but I want access this through file explorer from eclipse so I can easily pull from emulator.
As of now the only way to access data/data folder on the GenyMotion emulator is by using adb shell commands.
Since the emulator is running inside Oracle VirtualBox, direct access to the storage is a security issue and therefore you wont be able to find it through explorer or eclipse.
The VM saves the storage in .vmdk file format. Which is a virtual machine disk format. The data/data folder is somewhere deep inside that file.

From my Delphi app on Windows 10, I want to be able to transfer an android .apk file to the 'Internal Shared Storage\Download' folder on a USB attached Android Device.
It's actually a Datalogic Memor 1, but could be anything.
The Android device has file transfer enabled, and I can browse to the Download folder using Windows File Explorer and copy the file manually this way, but I can't find a way to do it from code.
When using TFile.Copy I always get 'The specified path was not found' but I don't know what path name I should be using and I suspect this is the wrong way to do it anyway.
I have looked into ADB but the device must be in debug mode for this to work so this is not an option.
It seems to me that this should be a fairly common thing to want to do.
How does the Window File Explorer do it?
Any suggestions please?
I have an error due to the contents of a file stored in internal storage on my Android Emulator. (I wrote it to file). Is there a way I can view the internal storage used by my app in windows?
I've searched through my whole project folder, sdk, workspace etc and cant find anything. I saw someone in another question say it was in the /data folder, but i dont know where to look for that either.
Thanks
If you want to view the folder/file structure of the running emulator, you can do that with the Android Device Monitor which is included with the SDK.
Specifically, it has a File Explorer, which allows you to browse the folder structure on the device. It also has buttons which give you the adb push/pull functionality but from a GUI if this is easier for you to use.
In Android Studio on Mac you can go to View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer. Here you can use a finder-like structure.
They are stored in an img file inside the avd directory. If you are using Linux you can mount the img file via:
sudo mount -o loop ~/.android/avd/<youremulator>/sdcard.img <mountpoint>
Not sure if there is a way in Windows or Mac to view the contents of the img since they are either in ext3, ext4, or yaffs file system format (depending on what you are emulating) and windows doesn't easily support those file systems.
Your best bet is to use adb to copy the file directly out of the emulator while it is running as shown in adb --help:
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
In Android Studio 3.2 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer
See this article for details: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/device-file-explorer
...and this one to find out where the other components of Android Device Monitor ended up: https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor
In Android N emulator you can easily get access Internal Memory.
Go to Emulator:
Settings -> Memory -> Internal Storage -> Others
Then a pop up will open. Click on explore. Then you will get access of Internal Storage.
in Android Studio 4.1 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer -> storage
I am trying to paste an sqlite database containing language details for testing in an AVD emulator. The application into which it is to be tested is mysword4android-3.5.1.apk, which I have installed into the emulator, and it is running. The test database is to be placed in a file "...mnt\sdcard\mysword" - what I can't figure out and find is:
Where in my laptop is this "...mnt\sdcard\mysword" located - all I get are png images or xml files when I search for it on my laptop.
How to place this sqlite database into the location/file so that the app can access it and show it
The makers of the app have simply said to copy and paste this database into the data path where other language databases are located; and this location is "...mnt\sdcard\mysword"
P.S. I have no idea about writing program code. I am using a Windows7 laptop and the AVD emulator is running Android 4.2. If the copy-paste can work that is all I can do.
The file is contained in an emulated SD card in the emulator and therefore not directly visible in the file system on your laptop. Use the tools provided with the Android development kit to move files between the laptop and the emulator file systems.
In particular, the adb pull and adb push commands will be helpful.
on my os x laptop I have android sdk installed into /Users/user/dv/android-sdk-utd. But where there is emulator's files?
You can use file-explorer to show the content of your eulator. Even you can pull or push file from emulator. Please follow this link
You can see the directory structure of emulator which is as same as phone.You can explore internal as well external storage of emulator.

The File Explorer view in Eclipse used to work, so that while an app was running, I could see and manage files in its memory. But since a couple of days the File Explorer is always completely empty. Both for the emulator and for physical devices.
Any suggestions about how to make this feature work again are very welcome!
just to make it an answer :)
Select the device in the Devices, it will show the files in the file explorer for that device.
The easier solution of it is to goto the taskmanager. Kill the adb process. Eclipse will start giving connection error with the AVD. Now, run your android virtual device again from the eclipse. Thats it. Its Done. You'll see the files in the file explorer in a sec.:)
It is the matter of the file 'toolbox' in /system/bin/, and lack a file 'ls' is that directiory. You can try in below steps:
1.Use an emulator and pull the file toolbox down and put it in your SD card of the phone.
2.Use "adb shell" and replace toolbox in your phone.
3.Set the permission to 'rwxr-xr-x' if necessary.
4.Then copy a file which is linked to toolbox and rename it to 'ls'(This step I use Root Explorer).
5.Restart adb you can discover that the ddms file explorer is not empty again~
Hope I can help you :)
