How am I found it help me out please......
Thanks in Advance For any help or suggestion...............
Go to DDMS->File Explorer->mnt->sd card
Click on DDMS, select your Emulator from devices. From FileExplorer select mnt/sdcard. This is the path for the emulator's SDCard. But to look for installed application follow Riteeka's answer.
There is no folder named MyFile in emulator, and You can browse sdcard contents in FileExplorer. The path following sdcard is FileExplorer -> Data/Data/mnt/sdcard.
I think this might help you!!

The VS emulator does not seems to be showing the SD card in the storage menu or through code. any idea how to get it working. even if we go through the SD card menu on the emulator options and provide a folder it doesn't seems to be working.
I first had to 'Pull from SD Card' which seemed to create the required hierarchy under the folder I identified. Then I did a 'Push to SD Card'. Still didn't behave entirely as I expected since no external storage was listed under settings. I just was trying to copy files across and this allowed me to do that.
I have to implement an Android 2.2 application which should be able to upload images selected from it's gallery, But I have no device with Android 2.2 so I have to test this on emulator, but I don't know how to copy images to emulator's sd card from my computer's hard disk. There are lot of similar type posts I found and none of them worked for me. So I hope your help
Thanks!
If you're using DDMS tool (under Eclipse or not), you can just drag and drop your image to the selected folder. SDCard folder is under mnt folder.
Edited
DDMS can be found under ...\android-sdk\tools.
In Eclipse, it is a perspective you can add by clicking on Window > Open Perspective > Other... > DDMS.
adb push foo.jpg /sdcard/foo.jpg
Follow the documentation here : http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#copyfiles
while creating AVD what is the use of File: in SDcard generally we will choose size:
what is file:
This is option is for using an existing SD card file, if you have one. For example, you can create two emulators sharing an SD card image. Hope this helps.
This input requites the path of the file which is made by tool mksdcard which is used to create a blank FAT32 image to be used with the Android emulator. This file will be mounted in emulator as external media storage.
I just want to view the files(especially the .png files) associated with one of the application in my mobile. The application is actually installed(moved) in the SD card.
The issue is ..I could not find the application in the SD card. I am using a file browser called 'File Manager' to browse through the SD card. Can someone help me on this.
It should be here:
/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/your_package_name/
Some hardware implements the path to the external storage different.
/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/your_package_name/
/mnt/sdcard-ext/Android/data/your_package_name/
You may be able to get a better view of what is on the device by using the ADB Shell. If you still have trouble at this point trying running grep or find from the shell.
UPDATE
Most of the time the files associates with your application are in the directory with your application. The application is installed in /data/data/your.package.name/. However you will need root access to get here if you are on a phone, I think the emulator lets you get here. As far as external storage... yea its a pain, to much fragmentation in the market. You have to programmatically check the location of the external storage.
On my device with Android 2.3.6 apps moved on the SD card are located into a directory named .android_secure as .asec files (see http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/asec).
They are not visible from the standard "Archive" browser which shows the hidden directory as empty.
The files are also encrypted so I guess no access to the images within is possible.
I am making an app for retrieving the image and then modify the image. So when doing the project in eclipse how can i virtually create an sd card in eclipse and also put some sample images to it.?Also can someone please mention any good source for retrieving images frm sd card ,modify it and then again save it to sd card?
In Eclipse in Window| AVD Manager create AVD with an SD card.
Then in DDMS perspective you can see the contents of that SD card in File Explorer tab.
You can also push/pull files to/from this virtual SD card.
