Answer 1

I see that the question was posted back in 2013 so there was probably some other problem at play then... but for those seeing this problem today it's probably because of an issue with Emulators targeting Android 24 or 25. Currently it appears that the Android Device Monitor is not able to display the file contents for Emulators targeting Android 24 or 25. It is however able to show file contents for Emulators targeting Android 23. Try launching an Emulator targeting Android 23 and you should see the Emulator's file contents in the File Explorer tab as expected.

I've created an Android bug report here.

Edit: a couple more bug reports about this here and here.
