Did you mean the Android APIs which are available with the sdk?
It is present in the project folder in Eclipse.(Couldnt post picture because of low reputation :-))
If you want to see the system files inside the emulator, go the command prompt and type
host $>adb shell
#>ls
You can see all the system files.
If you want to see the Android sdk, you should download the source code from the Android site.http://source.android.com/source/download.html
Thanks,

DDMS displays the content of your phone's internal disk space. There should be a folder named /sdcard that represents the sdcard, if you have one mounted on your phone or emulator.
If by "SDK folder" you mean the SDK that you installed on your PC, it's not going to be shown my DDMS. Feel free to clarify your question.

I have installed Laravel on my Android mobile phone using Termux. The problem is that I do not know where it is installed and therefore I can't put the project files into a text editor on the mobile phone. Also, I can't find the project folder when I connect the mobile to my laptop and use search(through hidden files as well). I have tried to go up in folder structure using $cd .. in terminux, up to a point where the permission was restricted, so I didn't figured out where those folders would possibly be. Any suggestion would be appreciated :).
OK, so I found the answer. You need to change the current folder in which Termux is installed(data/data/com.termux/files/) to a folder where you can access your files with a file explorer(in my case I used sdcard) like so:
$cd /sdcard
Then, if u run Android 6 or higher, you need to allow termux to create new directories using the command:
$termux-setup-storage
After that you are able to create a new directory in sdcard with
$mkdir YourDirectory
and you are able to access it. Good luck!
My windows is on a 128GB ssd hard drive and it's running out of space. the folder
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android has 2 folders android-sdk and sdk folders that use about 30GB of space.
Is it possible to move these folders to an external hard drive?
If it is possible, what changes should I make in the android studio?
I do the same thing. In Android Studio go to Settings, select Appearance and Behaviour then System Settings then Android SDK
You can choose the SDK location at the top.
You'll need to copy/paste the files to that location to save yourself the downloading time.
Its very simple just copy the sdk to wherever you want and then change the sdk path in android studio. For that just open the local.properties file and set the path like this:
sdk.dir=your path here
To keep the most used simulator in SSD drive and the others used for testing in the slow drive i created Symbolic. They are NTFS objects that appear in a folder as a sub folder but can that point to another folder on another drive.
To create then, move to C:\Users\<user>\.android\avd and do this:
mklink /d W10.1_WXGA_Tablet_API_28.avd d:\androidSimulators\W10.1_WXGA_Tablet_API_28.avd
MDLink info here.
If using Linux based systems you can also do this with linked directories.
For windows 10 users, emulators are stored by default at here:
C:\Users\<user>\.android\avd
due to IT restrictions I cannot use to package-install-automation of the Android SDK.
To be able to create an emulator in Androids' AVD manager, I first of all need a system image for my target device.
But regarding the below screenshot I haven't installed any.
So can anyone tell me:
1. where to get an system image for Android 6.0 API Level 23
2. how to install this system image manually/offline
Thank you in advance!
Firstly select the system image to be downloaded in android studio sdk, then it will start downloading the image and will say Downloading from <url>. Copy that URL and download from some download manager like IDM and after downloading, extract the files in system-images folder.
The directory structure pattern is sdk-folder/system-images/android-<api_number>/google_apis/x86 (or armeabi-v7a).
So, extract in correct pattern and then open the android studio sdk, you will see that the package is installed.
Now, you can make a virtual device from the downloaded system image.
SDK manager does not work for you?
In any case, there are several sites which can be used to download Android SDK system images:
https://web.archive.org/web/20191210131925/http://ady.my/viewer/system-image/
http://www.hariadi.org/android/manual-download-of-android-sdk-components/
Or alternatively Hard way :
for Windows, using the SDK Manager,
First make sure you have download caches enabled,then fetch/reload the packages. Then go to My Computer and open folder .android: =>
C:/Users/your_username/.android/
(Make sure you have enabled "show hidden files" option)
In there try to locate several xml file in cache dir. Those xml files contains URLs and other data of all the sdk package. Every package available in sdk manager can be downloaded through appropriate URL from there.
Open XMLs in IE and try to find what you need. Then you can use URLs from there and you're good to go.
Hope this helps
you can follow this link for manually installing the System Images for emulator, i just installed Android 6.0 (sysimg_x86-23_03) so that i can still render Marshmallow layouts in Eclipse.
These are the sites from where you can download them offline.
Mostly you will require Intel x86 System image or Intel x86_64.
First, but on this site every version of System image is most recent so you can download :
Intel x86-23_r0X from here (Revisions are from 03 to 09)
Intel x86_64-23_r0X from here (again, Revisions are from 03 to 09))
Hope i helped those who are looking for solution for older Intel System Images for Android 6.0.
For those with difficulty in finding the correct path to install. The path will depend whether the image is a playstore image or not.
You can figure out by looking at the images download link:
If the download link is inside the folder google_apis, e.g:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis/<api-file-name>.zip
Your folder structure should look like:
sdk-folder/system-images/android-<api_number>/google_apis/
But if the download link is inside the folder google_apis_playstore, e.g:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis_playstore/<api-file-name>.zip
Then your folder structure should look like:
sdk-folder/system-images/android-<api_number>/google_apis_playstore/
on my os x laptop I have android sdk installed into /Users/user/dv/android-sdk-utd. But where there is emulator's files?
You can use file-explorer to show the content of your eulator. Even you can pull or push file from emulator. Please follow this link
You can see the directory structure of emulator which is as same as phone.You can explore internal as well external storage of emulator.

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 used this method to answer a question about Bangla Font Insatallation
