I’ve had a look around the web for an answer to this with no joy.

In my Eclipse (Helios) in DDMS mode I can’t use the file explorer tab for looking at files on my device.
If I start up an emulator it work fine but for my device its blank.
I’m using CM7 on a HTC Desire

The closest to an answer was here but I’m not sure if its really a solution. I’m a bit wary.

    Problem solved.

    I actually looked into /system/bin on the device and noticed there was no ls in the first place so I put a symbolic link in to toolbox (like how its set up in the emulator) and it works now.

    In detail:

    • Reboot device into ClockworkMod recovery (via Rom Manager)
    • Mount /system via ClockworkMod options
    • In a terminal on your computer connect to the device with adb shell
    • cd /system/bin
    • ln -s toolbox ls
    • reboot

    And now I can see the files
