Have you created the sdcard as explained here: http://www.anddev.org/emulating_a_sd-card-t263.html

Or, the name of the image is the same you created?

Or, have you properly put the path to it in Eclipse?

yes, I have created as follows still it is giving error

Code: Select all

E:\jagtap\Andriod SDK\android-sdk-windows-0.9_beta\tools>mksdcard -l mySDCl 128M
"E:\jagtap\Andriod SDK\sdcard.img"

Code: Select all

E:\jagtap\Andriod SDK\android-sdk-windows-0.9_beta\tools>adb push E:\jagtap\Icon
s\options.png /sdcard
failed to copy 'E:\jagtap\Icons\options.png' to '/sdcard/options.png': Read-only
file system

I too got the same error earlier...but this method worked for me..

i would advice you to create a new img file similar to the example below...In Command prompt type the following...

Code: Select all

mksdcard -l test 10M c:/test1.img

try starting the emulator and loading the SDcard from command prompt by typing...

Code: Select all

emulator -sdcard c:/test1.img

once emulator is started open another command prompt instance and try copying a file to SDcard by typing

Code: Select all

adb push e:/test.png sdcard/test.png

Later try retrieving the same file from sdcard to your system by typing

Code: Select all

adb pull sdcard/test.png d:/

see if the file has been copied in your d:/ ..try and tell me if it works for u:)

Thanks Rahul, quick and clear!

I'm having the same problem, I've tried these steps and got the same result. Has anyone discovered the cause of this or are we still stuck in a "try it again from scratch" loop?

I am not able to understand you...can you please tell me the steps you have followed and the error you got..??

did you try this command ?...

Code: Select all

adb push f:/test.png /sdcard/test.png 

check if you have that file in the respective location you are mentioning and the sdcard loaded in emulator..

Hi rahul. thanks. this code worked just fine

I followed these steps exactly:

Code: Select all

mksdcard -l test 10M c:/Development/test1.img

Code: Select all

emulator -sdcard c:/Development/test1.img

Code: Select all

adb push "C:/Development/Picture 1343.jpg" "sdcard/Picture 1343.jpg"

and I'm still getting the Read-only error. I've attached screen shots.

In the image you have uploaded the slashes got interchanged while typing sdcard..

you have typed

Code: Select all

adb push "c:\development\picture 1343.jpg" "\Sdcard\test.jpg"

also Sdcard and sdcard are not the same...I think its case sensitive

the correct syntax is

Code: Select all

adb push <source path> /sdcard/<filename>

so try typing as you have mentioned in the code

Code: Select all

adb push "c:/development/picture 1343.jpg" "/sdcard/test.jpg"

hope that should work

try registering ur sdcard with this command emulator -avd <avd_name> -sdcard <imagename>.
Note do not start emulator before doing this.

Hi Thanks for the steps.

I got this error when I previously tried to push config file.
failed to copy 'd:/APK_files/config.ini' to '/sdcard/config.ini': Read-only file system

Then I realised that emulator is to be started and loaded with sdcard, then it worked.

Here are the steps I followed -
1. mksdcard -l SD256M 256M sdcard.img

2. Started the emulator and loaded the SDcard from command prompt

emulator -avd My_android1.5 -sdcard sdcard.img
Note - I had already made My_android avd using android create avd --target 2 --name newavd

3. once emulator is started, in another command prompt instance copied a file to SDcard.

adb push d:/APK_files/config.ini sdcard/config.ini

4. The I installed the apk file using the command
adb install file_name.apk

Now the application launches successfully, but it gets exception http error 500 for the URL mentioned in config.ini file. So the application do not connects.

trying to figure this out..

in Run configuration -->> your app --> Target
coche your android emulator and in "Additional emulator command line options"
-partition-size 1024 -sdcard C:\sdcard\test.img
