I'm having trouble transferring my script to the emulator as instructed on page 264.

It appears that I don't have "/sdcard/s14a/scripts" directory in my "android-sdk-linux_x86" directory. Am I supposed to have that directory in there?

I'm using Ubuntu linux operator system...

[paulbarry]

Be sure to use a lowercase "L" when typing in "sl4a". Also, note that you are copying from your computer (which is running Ubuntu Linux) onto the emulator (which is also running a version of Linux). The "/sdcard/sl4a/scripts" directory location is on the emulator and this directory has no relationship to any similar directory location on your Ubuntu system.

Hope this helps.

Oh, thank you for correcting my mistake... Just fixed it and tried again. Still doesn't work...

I placed the mydroidtest.py within the "android-sdk-linux_x86" directory, then I opened the terminal within that directory and typed "platform-tools/adb push mydroidtest.py /sdcard/sl4a/scripts" then I got that result "1 KB/s (107 bytes in 0.090s)" on the terminal. Then I checked the emulator and it says "No matches found" under Scripts in SL4A app. I've even push "Refresh" under Menu->Refresh and reboot the emulator. No script shown yet.

See where I'm at?

Update: Please disregard my previous message. I just realized that I've forgotten to click the "Python for Android" app and click install. After it's installed, the scripts are on the list under "Scripts" for SL4A app.

I copied the script by following the command given at the bottom of Page 264. But the script doesn't show up in the list when I load the sl4a application in the emulator.

Moreover, I don't get any list of scripts when the sl4a application got loaded for the first time. But as per Scripts section on Google Code, it's not a major issue.

Well it lists the scripts now. I didn't click on Install on the top of the window after opening Python for Android.

Hi, I'm having problems with this step too.

The pre-loaded scripts are appearing in the sl4A app, the emulator's running and I'm executing the command in the android-sdk/platform-tools folder (Windows 7).

I type:
platform-tools\adb push mydroidtest.py \sdcard\sl4a\scripts

..and get the error:
failed to copy 'mydroidtest.py' to '\sdcard\sl4a\scripts': Read-only file system.

I've saved mydroidtest.py into the android-sdk folder and checked it isn't set as read-only.

What am I doing wrong?

[helenb]

Finally managed to overcome this after deleting and re-creating the emulator a couple of times.

While copying the py file to "sdcard" I am getting permission denied error.
I am running on a Windows Xp system.
Please help me.

To helenb & ankitbansal1:

Try using the Forward-Slash '/' for the path.

platform-tools\adb push mydroidtest.py /sdcard/sl4a/scripts

Back-Slash '\' is only used in Windows. Other systems (Unix based) usually used Forward-Slash '/'.

Hope this help.

I'm using win7 and I have a problem to copy my script to the emulator. There is always an error:device not found. Can you help me?

Hi leo168.

Can you include a screen-shot showing the message that you are getting (pressing Alt+PrintScn on Windows should pop the current screen contents into the clipboard)? Also, what command are you typing in?

Is the emulator actually running?

Thanks. I've forgotten that. It runs now.
