Android 4.4 Virtual Device Internal Storage Will Not Resize

Question

When creating a new Android 4.4 Virtual Device using the AVD Manager, I cannot get the internal storage to be anything larger than 200MB.

512MB is the internal stora

Answer 1

Now that the emulator file system is ext4 I was able to re-size the userdata.img using standard Linux tools.

# Navigate to AVD
cd ~/.android/avd/Nexus5
# Delete old image
rm userdata-qemu.*
# Re-size the image
resize2fs userdata.img 512M
# Start the emulator and enjoy
emulator @Nexus5

Edit I was also able to re-size userdata-qemu.img directly but I had to run e2fsck first.

 e2fsck -f userdata-qemu.img
 resize2fs userdata-qemu.img 512M
