adb remount I get the following error device not found.
I am trying to create a folder and push multiple files on sdcard. When I try to use the command I have already created sdcard for my emulator.
I am using android with eclipse.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Here is the tutorial about push files on SD Card

If you attach android device to PC you can browse files and dirs. It is possible to get this directory using Environment.getExternalStorage(). You can use it from your application and create accessible files and dirs. It works fine.
On my devices this path looks like /storage/emulated/0 and if i try adb push to this directory i will get access denied error. Is it possible to copy files using adb to the same folder as Windows Explorer does?
D:\...\tools>adb push ACCOUNTS.DB /storage/emulated/0
failed to copy 'ACCOUNTS.DB' to '/storage/emulated/0': Permission denied
58969 KB/s (606505 bytes in 0.010s)
I'm implementing automated import/export and i want files to be accessible without adb shell in case anything will go wrong.
Currently using variable$EXTERNAL_STORAGE as workaround, it works for both adb and application.
Device: Asus Fonepad 7, Android 5.0, tried Genymotion Custom Tablet 6.0 - works.
Try to use /sdcard/. Although it is strongly discouraged to do this in code. It seems to be the only way with adb :
$ adb push somefile /storage/emulated/0/somefile
[100%] /storage/emulated/0/somefile
adb: error: failed to copy 'somefile' to '/storage/emulated/0/somefile': Read-only file system
$ adb push somefile /sdcard/somefile
[100%] /sdcard/somefile
By the way, on my device they don't have the same value : Environment.getExternalStorage() points to /storage/emulated/0/ while /sdcard points to /storage/emulated/legacy.
It's pretty easy, internal storage is unavailable on non-rooted devices. So as was mentioned in bwt answer you just need to push your data to sdcard :
adb push somefile /sdcard/somefile
With retrieving files from your filesystem you'll also have few problems. But with the case of pulling a database from a debug application - you'll just need to change file permission via chmod.
Here you have a useful link - XDA guys about adb
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/
My android app creates an sqlite database and I need to get it off the device so I can look at the data with a database viewer.
Was hoping I could just issue >adb shell and then go find it somewhere on the file system. Looks like there are permission issues with lots of commands. Even just running >find . -name *.sqlite gives permission denied.
Can anyone advise on how to do this?
It seems your device is not rooted, anyway..
Copy your .db file form /data/data/<package_name>/databases/ to ExternalStorage using code.. Then you can get it via adb pull command or DDMS -> FIle Explorer.
Currently there is no way to browse database on the device (without getting the root permission as you want) .
You can browse your database from emulator using adb shell.
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
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.
