I need to test a function that needs to picks some images from the gallery of Android JellyBean Emulator.
So I have downloaded from internet using the own browser of the emulator (that is slow as the hell) some images.
The images appears in the downloaded files but not in the Gallery of Emulator.
In the GingerBread emulator when I download an images from the browser these appear automatically in the gallery.
How could I force the emulator to find the images?
In the old emulator the media scanner was enabled, due to large amount of resource needed the new version has the media scanner disabled by default.
If you want to see the images in the gallery,
in the main menu of Jelly Bean Emulator go in:
DevTools->Media Provider and click "Scan SD Card".
In this way you should see the images in the gallery
If doesn't, probably the images saved aren't properly located in SD card,
-use DDMS(you can find it in the Android\android-sdk\tools folder
-Click on device menu and select File Explorer
-Go to mnt\sdcard
-Click the button "Push file into device" to upload images
If I correct, you want some pictures in emulator's gallery. I think you can upload a picture file in DDMS file browser, or using 'adb push' command.

I'm using react-native-photo-editor[https://github.com/prscX/react-native-photo-editor] npm
I'm testing on both Andoird 10 & Android 11 devices.
Scenario:
When I click on the save option after editing. Then the image is saved into Pictures/PhotoEditorSDK/ folder.
After that, the Image is visible when I go into the PhotoEditorSDK folder using internal memory. i.e., [internal storage / Pictures / PhtotoEditorSDK ]
In File Manager, We have some shortcuts to display data.
Like in my redmi device, I have Images, Downloads or recent, etc shortcuts in the file manager.
That edited image is not present in recent or Images shortcuts.
That edited image that is present in the Internal Storage path will be visible in images after some time [Like 1 day].
Can anyone tell, what's happening here?
I tried to follow explanation in the following posts:
upload picture to emulator gallery
How to add an image to the emulator gallery in android studio?
How we save image in gallery of emulator
/mnt/sdcard empty folder in this location
/sdcard empty folder in this location
storage/sdcard no such location
data/media/0/Pictures files added, but can't access from galley
devtools -> media scanner/media provider also I don't have this options inside my emulator.
You can send any file into android emulator via drag-n-drop action.
And then go to Settings - Storage and re-mount your sdcard.
We're building some gallery app.
Recently some users complain that they can't see some folders from their sd card (they can't see it on the stock gallery too).
We check with them and see that there is no .nomedia file in the folder.
We also check on our phones and sd cards are read perfectly.
Do you have any idea why is that happen or any way to reproduce it?
I just want to ask if there is now a workaround to solve the file upload problem in Android when there's not enough RAM after file selection.
Look at these URLs:
Android browser refreshes page after selecting file via input element
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=53088
https://github.com/kostysh/File-uploading-component-for-Sencha-Touch/issues/5
My smart phone Samsung Galaxy xcover has 37,70 MB RAM.
When I click a standard HTML file upload control on a web page and select a file (from gallery, camera, camcorder etc.) Android kills the browser instance to get some free RAM, then Android starts the browser again and refreshes the web page.
I think there must be a technical solution some day ...
Has anybody new information about this problem?

Android 4.2 added multi user support for tablets. Now when you request a path to save files on external storage via a method like Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() or Context.getExternalFilesDir(null) you get a value like: /storage/emulated/#/Android/data/your.package.name/ The # being a number depending on what user you are currently logged in as.
This works fine but I have noticed that DDMS's File Explorer and also the Android File Transfer are not able to see these files.
DDMS's File Explorer cannot see anything past storage/emulated/ except an empty legacy folder. File Transfer can see the /Android/data/ folder but for an app running as debug, its files are not visible (but they do exist).
Is there any way to get DDMS or File Transfer to work with these devices? (Hopefully without having to root the device...)
Thanks
Aha!
Try /mnt/shell/emulated/N, for various values of N like 0. That seems to map properly on my Nexus 10 and my Galaxy Nexus in DDMS. I cannot comment on the File Transfer tool, though.
BTW, the numbers are not sequential for the users. So on my N10, the original user is 0, the second user is 10.
As Jelly Bean 4.2 supports multi-user profiles, the sd-card browsing has been changed a bit.
You must have ADT v 21 or higher to browse emulated sd-card.
/mnt/shell/emulated/0 is for default user. See the image attached for more detail.
