When I connect the android tablet to windows 7 I get 2 external devices, one of them (H) doesn't open.
When I open G:, I get this
If I want to copy an app (adobe reader) to the tablet, to which folder should I copy it?
This is the screen of the tablet:
Where should I access the folders and files from?
Any? Copy it over, navigate to the folder on your phone, and click on the APK and it'll install. Make sure you allow your phone to install apps from unknown sources first.
That folder looks like the Android SD Card. If you copy it to any folder, just browse to it using a File Manager and click it to install it. You could also copy it to Downloads, and then open the Downloads app to install the APK. Make sure you also have enabled Unknown Sources.

I need get files from no_backup folder in my production app - I can't lose these files.
In Android Studio (file explorer) that folder has path:
data/data/com.package.name/no_backup/my_files_list
Is there way to do this?
Phone is OnePlus 8 Pro - I have that device and I can do everything, but any file explorer from google play cannot find this folder, android studio can see that folder when my app is in debbug, but I can't run debugg app because my installed app will be uninstaled and "no_backup" folder will be lost.
this path is pointing on system partition. if you want to copy these files programmatically you have to get root access (or at least use privileged/preinstalled system app). if your device isn't rooted (rooting most oftenly wipes data/factory reset) and there is no default/system file explorer with viewing OS partition feature (never seen installed by default, thats would be very insecure) then you won't get access to these files
i have prepared my first android app in android studio, but it run only in Android Studio Emulator not in mobile. Please help me by telling the simple solution so that i can distribute the app to others.
Thank You.
Click on the "build" tab in the android studio and then click on "build apk". After your android studio is finished building the apk, you will have an option to go to the folder where the apk is located. Go to that folder, select the .apk file and transfer it to your phone. After, make sure that your android phone has a permission to install apps outside of PlayStore. Install your app!
First you will need to create an .apk of your app through studio. If it successfully runs in Emulator, that is a good sign. Once the .apk is created. Save it to Desktop or wherever else you would like. Plug in your android device and open the device in File Explorer (or equiv. depends on OS). Copy the .apk to your device's Downloads folder. Once the copy is successful, eject your device from your computer. Open the file manager (whatever it is called, I don't personally own an Android, but I had to fix my cousin's :p) on your device. Go to Downloads and click the .apk you just transferred to the device. A dialog should come up asking if you would like to install the app. Click yes, or install, or the equivalent. Go to your Apps view and it should be there.
I am using Android Studio to emulate a basic android 4.3 device. Using the Android Device Monitor - file explorer function I am looking through the emulated file system and not all of the folders which I know exist are being shown. For instance under an installed application (on my rooted test device using a file explorer, I know folders exist in a particular location), but when I check on the emulation, I cnt see these folders.
Does the emulator not offer complete access to the file system?
another example is that the downloads folder has an image in it, but on the emulator, the file path shows the downloads folder to be empty - or it wont show me the content.
Is there away round this?
Thanks
Sometimes, while I run a development version of an app, I want to export the database so I can copy it over to a desktop, view the database there and ensure it is being edited correctly.
Normally I will call Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() and copy the database there. However, Jellybean on the Galaxy Nexus threw me for a loop--I could not see the file via MTP! (Mac OS X File Transfer). If I use Wifi File Explorer to browse the files on the device, then I see the database file.
After doing some research, I'm guessing this is due to Jellybean's simulated user-specific external storage. That would be why it tells me it's writing to /storage/emulated/0/ instead of /sdcard for example.
Is there a way to tell Android "write this file to where it is world-readable (including MTP) instead of only making it available to apps run under the same user"?
I had the same problem. I couldn't see a txt file I'd written in the 'Download' folder with 'Android File Transfer'. The only solution I've found is to write an extra .txt file in the same folder where you write your file, then open that folder in an app like 'Astro File Manager' and delete the extra file. Now open 'Android File Transfer', close it, and open it again. Your desired file should appear now.
I use /storage/emulated/0/Download/ as path but it should work in any other folder.
I know it's not the perfect solution but for now it's all I have.
Hope this will work for you too!
I know there are many questions regarding font installation on android emulator. I'm sharing the method that worked for me as an answer, if anyone have a better way please share it.
Whenever android fails to find a specific character it looks to DroidSansFallback.ttf, so what you need to do is replace the DroidSansFallback.ttf of the emulator by renaming a ttf font of your required language to DroidSansFallback.ttf. Do the following steps.
1.Get a market enabled rooted android emulator. You can find one here: Rooted Market Enabled AVD
2.Then grab an explorer app, I prefer root explorer.
3.Rename a free ttf font(which you want to install) to DroidSansFallback.ttf.
4.Create an AVD from the image you downloaded in step 1.
Push DroidSansFallback.ttf to the sdcard of emulator via file explorer in DDMS (I'm using Eclipse Indigo IDE).
Install root explorer (you can use another explorer downloaded via market).
Open root explorer, click mount r/w.
Then go to sd card and copy DroidSansFallback.ttf, then go to system, click mount r/w.
9.Then go to fonts and overwrite the existing DroidSansFallback.ttf.
Then give all permissions to the new DroidSansFallback.ttf from permissions option.
That's it.
