Android emulator: how to copy emulator / AVD?

I am currently updating an existing application that is already in the Google app store (e.g. Google Play). I want to check that data conversions go smoothly when clients are updated.

I have an AVD with an old version of the application installed. It would be normal to launch a new version in this application and see if it works. But the problem is that after this, this AVD no longer mimics the old state.

I would like to make copies of this AVD / Emulator (yes, all this!) So that I can repeat the tests.

This is similar to what often happens, but I cannot find references to this situation. Or am I missing something obvious (hopefully!)?

If you want to back up your AVD, follow these steps:

To find your avd folder on your computer, check your user directory. For me, with the username "zax", these locations are:

  • Windows 7: \ users \ zax.android

  • Windows XP: C: \ Documents and Settings \ zax.android \ on Windows XP

  • Linux / Mac: ~ / .android

Steps to backup your AVD:

  • Go to the .android folder and select the avd you want to export.

  • Compress the device.avd folder and device.ini file. (where, device is the name of the device you want to backup. For example. mmx.avd and mmx.ini)

  • Copy the compressed files to a new location

AVD, . , , - device.ini, , , win linux.

AVD > > .avd > , x, .
