General help creating an Android app (SD card in emulator)

[DaveJ]

I'm still on a steep learning curve trying to get a decent Android app created. I've already created a simplistic one with three buttons going to three separate screens, using Eclipse in Windows 7. But everything I'm doing is for the first time, and taking alot of time to figure out.

Right now, I'm struggling with one thing in particular: getting the Android emulator to mount an SD card I can write to. I have created a virtual SD Card, but I cannot figure out how to write a picture into the DCMI folder. When When I use DDMS to push a file, I get the message: "Failed to push selection: Read-only file system"

I see alot of other people asking the same question on the web but the answers are still confusing me. I could ask on Stackoverflow but they are so picky about duplicate questions....

Thanks, Dave
