Eclipse DDMS File Explorer File uploading for gallery but not showing in android emulator gallery. Any idea please help I am new in android.
Uploading a file via DDMS does not cause the MediaStore to recognize the file, and it is the MediaStore index that is used by the Gallery app.
From code, you can use MediaScannerConnection to force a re-scan. Or, restart the emulator, as external storage is re-scanned on each startup.
BTW, I am assuming that you uploaded the file to some place on external storage (e.g., /mnt/sdcard/).
I had the same problem with this so I am taking the time to provide an answer.
Uploading media to emulator:
After you upload the media to the emulator click on the Dev Tools icon.
Then go to Media Provider
Press the Scan SD Card button.
Now, your images should show.

I'm using the react-native-camera module in order to record video. After it records it gives me the uri of the location of the .mp4 video as:
file:///data/user/0/com.cassette_code/cache/Camera/a608b09c-e572-4056-9927-c0e8988cd254.mp4
I don't know where this is located. I recorded this on an android phone. Could someone tell me where I can access it, or if I can specify the location where the video should be stored in my project directory? I looked through the phone's storage, but I don't see com.cassette_code. I'm running it through my phone using USB debugging, so that might be why. But where would it be?
open your file manager in your android phone then select internal storage then android file then data file and finally select your app file
You may have to install something like ES File Explorer, then find the file using that app. Most built in file browsers can't see the application files
I have succefully created an Inten to take a photo and save it in this directory:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.iyfuture.peddypaper/files/Pictures/Image.jpg
After this I do a display of this picture (using the previous URI directory) to make sure that is working. And it is!
My question now is related with the android studio device file explorer.
If I wasn´t sucessfull to do the display of this image how could I check if it is inside this directory.
In other words how can I find this image inside the device file explorer?
I have searched in the "popular" directory data/data/com.iyfuture.peddypaper but there is nothing there...
I also have the device file explorer synchronized and the mobile phone emulator I am using it is the same as the one that is selected on top of the device file explorer.
It is under sdcard/Android/data/com.iyfuture.peddypaper/files/Pictures/Image.jpg
I'm trying to access the sdcard from my emulator, but it doesn't show any file:
As you can see, it seems to be empty.
I tried to check if the sdcard was mounted and all, so I put code to show how many MB left are on the sdcard, you can see the debugging, saying that it have 0.24GB free.
Even though i tried to Push a file to the device, it does nothing at all.
What's happening? Do I have to ummount the sdcard from the device?
Use this way
go to mnt/sdcard this location show your sdcard
instead of sdcard
On an Android 4.2 environment, for the initial user account, external storage can be found at /mnt/shell/emulated/0/.

How to browser the sd card in android for select a .txt file from any sdcard location
Either write your own activity to do this, or integrate with a third-party app that does this (e.g., OIFileManager), or find a third-party JAR that offers this.
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.
