Answer 1

I've found it to be incredibly clumsy and not work very well, but the command to use is: adb push yourfile.xxx /sdcard/yourfile.xxx. For this to work you've got to have the file in the same directory as adb.exe, which is in the tools folder of your SDK directory, or have set up adb as a system-wide recognisable command. (I don't remember how to do that, but I know it can be done). This also assumes you've set up an SD card through the AVD manager. However, the problem I faced when doing this is that sometimes the file would appear on the emulator with a size of 0 bytes. What I mean is that I could see the file in the DDMS file browser in Eclipse, but after doing the necessary emulator restart, the files would then be shown with the 0 byte size. I couldn't find a pattern on why that happened, but trying a few times in a row eventually worked.

The easiest way is to mount the img file.
