In order to use the command su in Linux you need to have the root
password, which unless you rooted your AVD you won't be able to do.
You can however create the directory from inside your application if
you give it the permission:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-
permission>
which should be placed within the <manifest></manifest> scope on your
manifest.xml.
Then, something like this in your code will create the directory:
File myDir=new File("/sdcard/scope_pics");
myDir.mkdirs();
Where scope_pics should be replaced by whatever directory structure
you would like it to have. There also might be a default root
password for AVDs.... Since they are development tools and not
consumer hardware, I don't know what interest there would be in
restricting developers from root access to the platform.
