As Dianne said, use "adb shell" to get a shell prompt on the emulator. Then:

cd /data/data/com.your.package/files

If I'm remembering things correctly, that directory should contain files
created from within your app.

As for opening the userdata.img, I think that's a flash memory device image,
and isn't easily accessible. I remember seeing some steps for mounting it on
linux, but I don't recall where.
