The Android Virtual Device, or AVD, can be an invaluable tool when testing a project for various screen densities and software versions. The AVD Manager, part of the Android System Development Kit, enables you to create Android emulators as well as SD card images to emulate file access when testing your program. You can read and write data on an AVD's SD card as part of your Android application or by mounting the IMG file on your desktop and dragging files to the mounted folder.
Java Code
1.Click “Window” in the menu bar and click “AVD Manager.” Click “New” to create a new Android emulator. Check the box next to the software version for your new device and enter a name for the device in the Name field. Enter an amount of memory to allocate for virtual SD storage in the SD Card field. Click “Finish” to create the emulator.
2.Double-click the “Src” folder of your Android project and right-click the main source package. Click “New Class” and enter a name for the class in the Name field. Click “Choose” to choose a superclass and type “Activity” in the search field. Double-click “Activity” and click “Finish.”
3.Create a reference to your SD card image inside a 'try' block with code such as the following: try { File absolutePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Open a file on the SD card by placing a line such as the following inside the 'try' block: File file = new File(absolutePath, “file_name.txt”); PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(file));
Substitute the name of your file for “file_name.txt.”
4.Save data to the file with the “PrintWriter.print” or “PrintWriter.println” methods. For example, to write a line of text or numbers followed by a newline character, add the following code: output.println(“Euler's number: ” + 2.71828 + “...”);.
Android SDK
1.Click “Window” and click “AVD Manager.” Click the emulator onto whose SD card you'd like to copy files and click “Run.”
2.Click “Applications” on the virtual device and double-click “Dev Tools.” Double-click “Terminal Emulator” and type the following code in the terminal:
cd sdcard mkdir folder_name
Substitute your folder name for “folder_name.”
3.Click “Window” in the menu bar and point to “Open Perspective.” Click “DDMS” and click the “File Explorer” tab. Double-click “Sdcard” to expand the directory and click the folder you created to select it.
4.Click the small icon of an Android phone above the File Explorer window. Find files to copy to the SD card image in the pop-up file browser. Double-click files to add them to the disk image.
Tip
- Back up your virtual SD card images by copying the “.Android” folder to external storage media. The Android AVD Manager creates the “.Android” folder in your Home folder in Unix systems and in “Documents and Settings” in Windows.
