[TinyTut] - Pull/Push files from/to the Emulator

What you learn: You will learn how push/pull Pull/Push files from/to the Emulator using the DDMS-View in Eclipse.

Difficulty: 0.5 of 5 Rolling Eyes

Description:
You can push/pull files from/to the emulator, by using the DDMS-View that comes with the ADT-Plugin for Eclipse.
Open the DDMS-View like in the picture. (If you cannot see the Button A points to, do it the B-Way).

Then open the File-Explorer Tab and open Push/Pull files as you wish. In this case we selected the '/data/misc/location/gps/nmea' (Mock LocationProvider) to pull it to from the emulator.

Alternative to PUSH:

Idea

Emulator has to be open && Browse in Terminal/CommandLine to ".../android_sdk/tools"

Syntax: " adb push <local_source> <emulator_destination> "

I don't really understand why the push button from DDMS persp doesn't work....

Is there a reason? Is there anyone who knows why?

Hello Gamby,

I also do not know why it is still not working Sad

CommandLine-Pushing is a bit annoying, but it works always ^^

Hi plusminus.

I have tried to use Commnandline to push file onto the emulator. But it did not work :

May you help me? I am looking to hearing you soon !

Err.. is there a reason you're pushing the files to /tmp? Because /tmp is used for temporarily data.

Hello Isthar,

exaxtly that was the reason for choosing "/tmp/", because of not creating useless data on your emu, you'll forget somewhen.
