The File Explorer view in Eclipse used to work, so that while an app was running, I could see and manage files in its memory. But since a couple of days the File Explorer is always completely empty. Both for the emulator and for physical devices.
Any suggestions about how to make this feature work again are very welcome!
just to make it an answer :)
Select the device in the Devices, it will show the files in the file explorer for that device.
The easier solution of it is to goto the taskmanager. Kill the adb process. Eclipse will start giving connection error with the AVD. Now, run your android virtual device again from the eclipse. Thats it. Its Done. You'll see the files in the file explorer in a sec.:)
It is the matter of the file 'toolbox' in /system/bin/, and lack a file 'ls' is that directiory. You can try in below steps:
1.Use an emulator and pull the file toolbox down and put it in your SD card of the phone.
2.Use "adb shell" and replace toolbox in your phone.
3.Set the permission to 'rwxr-xr-x' if necessary.
4.Then copy a file which is linked to toolbox and rename it to 'ls'(This step I use Root Explorer).
5.Restart adb you can discover that the ddms file explorer is not empty again~
Hope I can help you :)

I'm trying to release an android app with system privileges using the following link:
http://paulononaka.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/apk-with-system-privileges/
my OS knowlage is somewhat poor and i cant get my system to recognize "keytool-importkeypair" as a command.
I'm using Win ex.
added the folder to the system PATH.
started cmd as Admin.
changed the keytool-importkeypair file to: exe,com and bat files, the system could recognize the file then, but still didnt do the right oporation.
May it be a file for linux only? i really don't know much about system command files, so any help would be great.
Thanks.
keytool-importkeypair is a Linux file. It will not work on Windows. To use this as a command on Linux:
1) Download the keytool-importkeypair from following location and save it to the same folder where platform certs are present
https://github.com/getfatday/keytool-importkeypair
2) Once the file is there, you can simply use it by typing
$./keytool-importkeypair "rest of the command"
Well, it seems to be a linux file.. just need to know how to add it to the linux path now.
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 have an error due to the contents of a file stored in internal storage on my Android Emulator. (I wrote it to file). Is there a way I can view the internal storage used by my app in windows?
I've searched through my whole project folder, sdk, workspace etc and cant find anything. I saw someone in another question say it was in the /data folder, but i dont know where to look for that either.
Thanks
If you want to view the folder/file structure of the running emulator, you can do that with the Android Device Monitor which is included with the SDK.
Specifically, it has a File Explorer, which allows you to browse the folder structure on the device. It also has buttons which give you the adb push/pull functionality but from a GUI if this is easier for you to use.
In Android Studio on Mac you can go to View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer. Here you can use a finder-like structure.
They are stored in an img file inside the avd directory. If you are using Linux you can mount the img file via:
sudo mount -o loop ~/.android/avd/<youremulator>/sdcard.img <mountpoint>
Not sure if there is a way in Windows or Mac to view the contents of the img since they are either in ext3, ext4, or yaffs file system format (depending on what you are emulating) and windows doesn't easily support those file systems.
Your best bet is to use adb to copy the file directly out of the emulator while it is running as shown in adb --help:
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
In Android Studio 3.2 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer
See this article for details: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/device-file-explorer
...and this one to find out where the other components of Android Device Monitor ended up: https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor
In Android N emulator you can easily get access Internal Memory.
Go to Emulator:
Settings -> Memory -> Internal Storage -> Others
Then a pop up will open. Click on explore. Then you will get access of Internal Storage.
in Android Studio 4.1 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer -> storage
I know there are many questions regarding font installation on android emulator. I'm sharing the method that worked for me as an answer, if anyone have a better way please share it.
Whenever android fails to find a specific character it looks to DroidSansFallback.ttf, so what you need to do is replace the DroidSansFallback.ttf of the emulator by renaming a ttf font of your required language to DroidSansFallback.ttf. Do the following steps.
1.Get a market enabled rooted android emulator. You can find one here: Rooted Market Enabled AVD
2.Then grab an explorer app, I prefer root explorer.
3.Rename a free ttf font(which you want to install) to DroidSansFallback.ttf.
4.Create an AVD from the image you downloaded in step 1.
Push DroidSansFallback.ttf to the sdcard of emulator via file explorer in DDMS (I'm using Eclipse Indigo IDE).
Install root explorer (you can use another explorer downloaded via market).
Open root explorer, click mount r/w.
Then go to sd card and copy DroidSansFallback.ttf, then go to system, click mount r/w.
9.Then go to fonts and overwrite the existing DroidSansFallback.ttf.
Then give all permissions to the new DroidSansFallback.ttf from permissions option.
That's it.

I wrote a small program in eclipse -android.Now i installed and i am running my program which is an .apk
Now i want to know where my .apk file is there and i even want to "pull" it into my system. Is it possible? If so kindly help me.
If you just want the apk to install on a phone or similar use File -> Export -> Android Application
Yes should be possible. Do a adb shell and look under /data/apps (e.g. ls /data/apps). Once you know the filename you can do adb pull filename .
You can run project without make apk, just right click on project >> Run as >> android application.
But if you want to find apk, it is already in workspace/your project/bin/name.apk
Yes it is possible you can also get from the ddms window into the eclipse. In the ddms select the device from the device window at left side and at right side you getting the tabbed window File Explorer, logcat, console etc.
Select File Explorer->data->app
here you getting the list of all the apk files select it and pull it by using right to top button of this File Explorer window.

Use File Explorer within Eclipse to see all the files and folders of your emulator.
