Where are Android Emulator Image Stored?
AndroidAndroid EmulatorAndroid FileAndroid Problem Overview
On the emulator, I downloaded an image from Google. I can find the image on the emulator, but I have no idea what the file location of the image is. To debug my app I need to know where that image is. How can I get the full path of the image?

Solution 1 - Android
From the AVD documentation:
> By default, the android tool creates the AVD directory inside ~/.android/avd/ (on Linux/Mac), C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.android\ on Windows XP, and C:\Users\<user>\.android\ on Windows 7 and Vista.
Update (2020-02-22): This wording isn’t on the current documentation page anymore, but the location appears to be the same (C:\Users\<user>\.android\) on Windows 8 and 10.
Solution 2 - Android
The system images are downloaded in [ {android_version_home_dir}/sdk/system-images/{android-version-number}/system.img> ]
and the avd are created in C:\Users<user>.android\avd\ (windows) or ~/.android/avd/ (linux/mac)

Not obvious thing in official documentation
Solution 4 - Android
This here seems to work for me:
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
String myJpgPath = path + "/Download/dog-best-friend-1.jpg";

If your image is stored on your emulator then you can find that image using file Explore
First Start your Emulator then:
Open your File Explorer and go to mnt/sdcard/Download you will find your image here if its downloaded.
To open file explore in Eclipse : window/show view/other/File Explore

In Windows ---> C:\Documents and Settings<user>.android\
Solution 7 - Android
To find the exact path open the emulator go to Photos then click on a photo (if there is any) then click on i (for info). There you can see the exact path on your device.To access these files dynamicly try:
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
String pathPhotos = path2 +"/Download";
File[] fileArr = new File(pathPhotos).listFiles();
for(int i = 0; i < fileArr.length; i++) {
Log.d("fileName12", " " + fileArr[i].getPath());
}
In case listFiles returns null you have to add:
uses-permission *android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
And change the settings on the Emulator -> settings -> Apps -> App Permissions -> storage -> your app name -> switch on
Solution 8 - Android
On windows:-> C:\Users\yourUser\Documents\AndroidStudio\DeviceExplorer\Pixel_2_API_30 [emulator-5554]\data\data\com.yourpackage\files
After the emulator name, you can choose the path in your code.
