Is it possible to make changes to the sdcard being used in an Android Emulator? For instance, I'd like to change the size of the SD card being used in the emulator.

A: 

The only way I know of to do this is to open the AVD manager create a new Android Virtual Device with a bigger/smaller SD card size. AFAIK, there's not a way to change the size of a device after it's been created - at least, not through Eclipse.

In the avd directory, which is in the following location:

Windows:
%userprofile%.android\avd\<avd-name-here>

There is a file called sdcard.img. you can replace that with the new image file.

you can create a new sdcard image file by using mksdcard in the android-sdk/tools

usage: mksdcard [-l label] <size> <file>

Thanks for the Info Ryan. After a little investigating, I've found that you can't resize existing virtual SD cards, so your solution is the next best thing, it seems.
