I want to put some images into the Pictures folder on the emulator. How do i do it?
Do i need to write the path of the image in some database?. Where exactly is the pictures folder pointing?

Thanks!

what pictures folder ? :?:

maybe you want to place your pictures into your project res/drawable/ folder and use R.drawable.YOURPICTURE to point to it ?

No. You have a folder by name Pictures on the Emulator.
I need to know how to add pictures onto that particular folder

Please have a look at the screenshot below

i just tried clicking a picture from the camera and saved it.
A dummy image reflects in the pictures folder and the particular image gets stored in the sdcard.

The problem here is that the Picture folder points some entry in the database
did checkout /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db
and /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/internal.db
coudn't find any entry under table images...

Any idea?..

i'm currently stuck with porting to the new sdk, so i couldnt check it for myself.

i saw a media.db on my sdcard. it contains a table

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
CREATE TABLE images (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,_data TEXT,mime_type TEXT,drm_type TEXT,drm_content_type TEXT,title TEXT,timestamp INTEGER,description TEXT,width INTEGER,height INTEGER,picasa_id TEXT,mini_thumb_data TEXT,isprivate INTEGER,latitude DOUBLE,longitude DOUBLE,datetaken INTEGER,orientation INTEGER)
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

path to media.db is /sdcard/android/media.db
