$ adb shell
# mkdir data/local/tmp/testjars
# exit

That works fine and gives no errors, but when I do:

$ adb push <project_root_folder>/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk data/local/tmp/testjar/load.apk

I get the error:

adb: error: failed to copy 'F:\dexclassloader\PluginSample\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk' to 'data\local\tmp\testjar\load.apk': couldn't create file: Read-only file system

What am I missing? How can I fix this?

Im deploying my app on Virtual devices (Nexus 5).

I don't know if AVDs have a /sdcard but if they have you can try to push to /sdcard and then cp from /sdcard to /data/.. – IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Jan 05 '17 at 13:41
