Dec 6, 2016 05:49PM

Android Studio version: 2.2.2
Android Device Monitor version: 25.2.3
OS version: macOS Sierra 10.12.1

Android Device Monitor shows the file contents (in the File Explorer tab) for emulators targeting Android 6.0 (API 23) but not for emulators targeting Android 7.0 (API 24) or Android 7.1.1 (API 25).

Here are a couple of links (there are probably more) of the issue on Stack Overflow:

I've just noticed that within adb shell for Emulators targeting Android 24 and 25 that I get "permission denied" for all commands and folder that I call (e.g. ls, cd etc). (This is not the case of course for Emulators targeting Android 23.) This could well be the root cause of the empty File Explorer contents in Android Device Monitor?

Nasir, this issue is marked as a duplicate of

Issue 36949180

(link below). That issue has Status "FutureRelease" so I'm guessing the issue is fixed but not released yet.
