unable to push image into emulator - android

I looked at the other question on how to insert image into android emulator. However i attempt this method.
Run the emulator
go to the ddms and click the sdcard folder
push file and select the image i want to insert into the folder
Here is the error
[2013-05-08 10:59:00 - ddms] transfer error: Read-only file system
[2013-05-08 10:59:00] Failed to push selection: Read-only file system
I have looked at other tutorial and most of them are able to push image into the sdcard file before proceeding to devtool. However, i'm stuck at pushing picture into files

Are you sure you even have an sdcard? If it's an emulator, you probably don't. If that's the case, then the mountpoint /sdcard will exist, but it's just an empty directory and part of the / filesystem, which will be read-only.

if there exists an sdcard try this command
adb push somepathtofile /sdcard/

Hi all using Samsung Galaxy GT-1900 ,In eclipse I am trying to access data folder in DDMS file explorer view of my application,its data folder visible but unable to open,facing same problem as posted here Can't access data folder in the File Explorer of DDMS using a Nexus One!

On rooted device you can do this:
Open cmd
Type 'adb shell'
su
Press 'Allow' on device
chmod 777 /data /data/data /data/data/com.application.pacakage
Go to the DDMS view in Eclipse
After this you should be able to browse the files on the device.
Afaik, you need to root your phone to get access to /data, it's forbidden due to rights management, by default.

Android emulator SD card problem

i m inserting one video in sdcard to show the video in emulator..
but showing error:
[2010-11-24 19:21:22] Failed to push sample.mov on emulator-5554: Read-only file system
pls help me how can i do that?
It probably has to do with the way you are creating your sdcard (check if you have the right permissions by doing adb shell, then ls -l on sdcard from terminal).
Also check this thread

Can't add data to Android sdcard on the emulator

I can see the sd card in the file explorer with d--rwxr-x permission. When i tried adding any file to it it shows Failed to push the items. It is not adding even very small files.
Can you guys suggest how to fix this?
This is how you push files to the SD Card. First copy the file you want to push to the tools directory [android-sdk-windows]/tools/. Open a command prompt and if you don't have the tools directory in your path you will need to cd [drive]:\android-sdk-windows\tools. Then you just type this:
adb push [filename] /sdcard/[filename]
If you want to put the file into a subdirectory of sdcard you have to create it... you can do that in the adb shell or on the device with a file manager.
If you are working on Windows.

how to import files into the sdcard on emulator in android?

i want to load some photos into my sd card image in the emulator. how to do this by command prompt.how to do that?
I've found it to be incredibly clumsy and not work very well, but the command to use is: adb push yourfile.xxx /sdcard/yourfile.xxx. For this to work you've got to have the file in the same directory as adb.exe, which is in the tools folder of your SDK directory, or have set up adb as a system-wide recognisable command. (I don't remember how to do that, but I know it can be done). This also assumes you've set up an SD card through the AVD manager. However, the problem I faced when doing this is that sometimes the file would appear on the emulator with a size of 0 bytes. What I mean is that I could see the file in the DDMS file browser in Eclipse, but after doing the necessary emulator restart, the files would then be shown with the 0 byte size. I couldn't find a pattern on why that happened, but trying a few times in a row eventually worked.
I've just found out how to add some files in the SD card image.
Turn all running emulators off but keep Eclipse on.
Using thecommand line, start the ddms tool. ddms
Now start stand-alone emulator console.
emulator -avd myAVDname -sdcard mysdcard.img
Push a file into the sdcard. adb push yourfilename /sdcard/
You should get a message (how much memory it occupies)
In Eclipse, you will see the folders (including SD card and the files you just add) appear.
For me, the files didn't appear at the first time in File Explorer, then I closed the emulator and turned it on again. Now it works!
On Android Studio
Run Emulator
open android device monitor
scroll down and select sdcard
Click on Push file into sdcard icon at top right
choose the file
Hope this helps..
in Eclipse, Open the DDMS Perspective.
Start an Emulator. Select it in the Devices.
Click on the File Explorer Tab in DDMS.
THEN THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTATION FROM OFFICIAL ANDROID WEBSTIE: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html
Working with an emulator or device's file system
DDMS provides a File Explorer tab that allows you to view, copy, and delete files on the device. This feature is useful in examining files that are created by your application or if you want to transfer files to and from the device.
To work with an emulator or device's file system:
In the Devices tab, select the emulator that you want to view the file system for.
To copy a file from the device, locate the file in the File Explorer and click the Pull file button.
To copy a file to the device, click the Push file button on the File Explorer tab.
Answer here also. You need not open cmd when using eclipse.
Problems trying to push files into android device using eclipse
You can use the ADB via a terminal to pass the file From Desktop to Emulator.
adb push <file-source-local> <file-destination-remote>
You can also copy file from emulator to Desktop
adb pull <file-source-remote> <file-destination-local>
first,download magiciso(http://www.magiciso.com/Setup_MagicISO.exe)
after downloading When your emulator is not open go to your avd files(c:/document and settings/"user name"/.android)
there is your avd named folder
then open sdcard.img with magiciso
now you have to drag and drop files in your magic iso window
don't forget to save the file
