How can I add library to Android-Emulator’s lib folder

Operation System: Windows 7, Eclipse

Here I present the steps how I add libraries to Android-Emulator’s lib folder, it takes a week from me, but I have done all and want to share my results in order you can solve your problem very fast and effectively. So I will present steps how I done this:

1. Open Eclipse.

2. Open Command Line (cmd) and go to path there your android SDK located:

   cd C:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools

3. Now we will run Emulator with given partition size, enter following command:

   C:..\tools> emulator -avd EmulatorName -partition-size 512

   NOTE: EmulatorName – is the name of your emulator.

4. Wait until emulator starts and minimize Command Line ( don’t close it ), open new Command Line (cmd) and go to path:

   cd C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

5. Run the command

   C:..\platform-tools> adb remount

6. Go to Eclipse and open

   Window -> Open Perspective -> Other …

7. Select DDMS in the opened Dialog.

8. Select "File Explorer" tab.

9. Select directory \system\lib

10. Select "Push a file onto Device" and select library(s) witch you want.

All Done !
