This is how I created my folder.
1. I launched the emulator.
2. On terminal window, I typed adb shell
3. Then I cd to the /data/misc/location directory
4. Create the directory 'test'
Check the permission. Mine is set to chmod 777
Once the directory is created, I went to the android file Explorer and
to the test directory and then pushed a file to the device, using the
icon on the android file explorer.
