How to create sub-folder in SD Card of Android Emulator, using adb

If you want to create sub-folder in SD Card of Android Emulator, Android Debug Bridge(adb) can be used. Android Debug Bridge(adb) is a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device.



With Android Emulator running, start a Terminal (in Linux), switch to the <android sdk>/tools folder. type the command:

$./adb shell "mkdir /sdcard/myFolder"

where:
<android sdk> is the location of your installed android sdk.
myFolder is the folder you want to create.

    If you see "No such file or directory.", make sure you've allotted some size for the Android Virtual Device's sdcard in the AVD's configuration.
