Transfer multiple files to AVD virtual SD card

The background: I am creating an app to extract data from a large number of individual files and get some statistics from the data. In the first instance, trying to get it to work on an emulated device.


- I have created a virtual SD card using the mksdcard.exe tool (found in the Android\tools folder)
- Then run the AVD manager to launch an emulation with the mySDCardFile.img as a virtual SD card.
- Run the DDMS.bat (which reports that it has been deprecated but still launches!) BTW, the alternative monitor.bat generates an error: !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2013-07-08 14:04:16.292
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
java.io.IOException: The folder "C:\Users\Philip%20K\.android\monitor-workspace\.metadata" is read-only.? Not sure what to do about that?)

Using the DDMS tool, I can, using the in-built file explorer, copy a single file at a time to the virtual SD card. But I have 8000 to copy! Is there a way of copying multiple files?


Thanks in advance.

The menu bar provides only single file 'push to device'

I have found you can drag multiple files from an explorer session to the virtual SD card
