I want to know whether there is a method to access local files (say text files, web pages) of the filesystem in Android emulator.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 for Android development.

Right-click on a file or directory to create a new file or directory, save the selected file or directory to your machine, upload, delete, or synchronize. Double-click a file to open it in Android Studio. Android Studio saves files you open this way in a temporary directory outside of your project.
The default location of this directory varies by platform: On Windows, it's the %LocalAppData%\Android\Sdk directory. This normally expands to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk , although it might vary based on your system.
All applications and files that you have deployed to the Android emulator are stored in a file named userdata-qemu. img located in the C:\Users\<username>\. android\avd\<avd_name>. avd folder.
To copy a file from the connected emulator/device onto the computer, use the following command: adb.exe pull /data/app/<filename> c:\ NOTE When using the adb.exe utility to pull or push files from or into the emulator, ensure that only one AVD is running.
You can use the adb command which comes in the tools dir of the SDK:
adb shell
It will give you a command line prompt where you can browse and access the filesystem. Or you can extract the files you want:
adb pull /sdcard/the_file_you_want.txt
Also, if you use eclipse with the ADT, there's a view to browse the file system (Window->Show View->Other... and choose Android->File Explorer)

In Android Studio 3.0 and later do this:
View > Tool Windows > Device File Explorer

In addition to the accepted answer, if you are using Android Studio you can
Android Device Monitor,Devices tab on the left,File Explorer tab on the right,Pull a file from the device button to save it to your local file systemTaken from Working with an emulator or device's file system

In Android Studio 3.5.3, the Device File Explorer can be found in View -> Tool Windows.
It can also be opened using the vertical tabs on the right-hand side of the main window.

Update! You can access the Android filesystem via Android Device Monitor. In Android Studio go to Tools >> Android >> Android Device Monitor.
Note that you can run your app in the simulator while using the Android Device Monitor. But you cannot debug you app while using the Android Device Monitor.
