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.

Is it possible to share a directory with a emulated device in android studio?
I want to be able to access a local directory from device's file manager (so it is available to all apps), and such that changes are detected immediately.
I just started with android studio, I searched but i could only find how to copy files...
BTW, I'm on ubuntu 18.04.
No, but you could push the directory using adb or Android Studio. That's generally not a feature an emulator like this would have, as its not a realistic setup on a phone.
A workaround would be to setup a file watcher on your local directory and perform a push when a file is changed.
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
I have an "Android Backup" folder with some data inside. Is it possible to emulate this data on a virtual android/ AVD and if so will I be able to access the data?
Are you looking for Using the Emulator?
You can add any file to the sdcard of your emulated device using the terminal.
Edit: Actually the usage of the terminal can be found in the Android Debug Bride description.
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.

I'm currently developing an mp3 player, android app. I'm almost done and preparing some testing. So I need to push some mp3 files directly to sdcard (using adb in command line, it easier). I can push any mp3 files except for the mp3 files that having non-english filename.
Example: テスト.mp3, 漢字.mp3
And I also tried to create folder via DDMS' File Explorer with folder name in Japanese but wasn't able to do it.
is there any way to push those mp3 to emulator's sd card or create Japanese folder?
I'm working on the following environment.
Windows 7 Home 64-bit (Japanese OS).
Eclipse as IDE.
Android SDK API 16.
SDK Tool Rev21
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried but take a look at this program:
https://github.com/knhnnh/adbpushex
It appears to copy the files over with temporary non-multibyte names first and then rename to their original Japanese names once on the device. Even if this program does not work with the emulator you might be able to get some ideas about how you would get multibyte file names onto your emulator (ex: name then in ASCII first and then somehow rename them from the emulator itself).
