File Explorer always empty in Eclipse

The File Explorer view in Eclipse used to work, so that while an app was running, I could see and manage files in its memory. But since a couple of days the File Explorer is always completely empty. Both for the emulator and for physical devices.

Any suggestions about how to make this feature work again are very welcome!

The easier solution of it is to goto the taskmanager. Kill the adb process. Eclipse will start giving connection error with the AVD. Now, run your android virtual device again from the eclipse. Thats it. Its Done. You'll see the files in the file explorer in a sec.:)

It is the matter of the file 'toolbox' in /system/bin/, and lack a file 'ls' is that directiory. You can try in below steps:

1.Use an emulator and pull the file toolbox down and put it in your SD card of the phone.

2.Use "adb shell" and replace toolbox in your phone.

3.Set the permission to 'rwxr-xr-x' if necessary.

4.Then copy a file which is linked to toolbox and rename it to 'ls'(This step I use Root Explorer).

5.Restart adb you can discover that the ddms file explorer is not empty again~

Hope I can help you :)

just to make it an answer :)

Select the device in the Devices, it will show the files in the file explorer for that device.
