Android Emulator sdcard push error: Read-only file system

Question

I am developing under Android 1.6 (Android SDK 2.1). I create a avd by using avd manager in Eclipse. When I launch this avd, I found that the /sdcard directory's permisson is "d---------". So I can't push file to the sdcard.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

I found this works

$./adb shell $su mount -o rw,remount rootfs / chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard exit

Answer 2

Once you started the Emulator from one shell, login to another shell & type

adb shell 

You should see # prompt displayed, this is your device(emulator) shell. Now , type following command at adb shell.

mount -o remount rw /sdcard 

This will now remount /sdcard with rw(read-write) permission & now you can push your files into /sdcard by using following command from your host shell.

`adb push filename.mp3 /sdcard,` 

where filename.mp3 could be any file that you want to push into Android Emulator.

Hope this helps :)
