How can I fix my Android Emulator ?

I am just starting to learn about Android apps and I am trying to get my Emulator running. As soon as it pops up , it shows the "Android" loading screen. I know it takes some time for it to load , but , its been half an hour already and nothing happens (same loading screen). I was getting a HAX error but fixed it already. Any ideas ?

First, I recommended that you should update your ram size and second recommend is you should use real device.

Sorry,I don't know what's the problem is!

Here I gave some ideas that will help you.

  1. First check that you install HAXM installer to got to your sdk manager.

  2. You can create perfect emulator following this workshop in treehouse.This tutorial will show you how to create a perfect emulator in android studio.

  3. If any ideas doesn't work then I highly recommend you to use Genymotion.It's much faster than the default one.Treehouse has a course that will teach you how to install genymotion on your computer.Here is link.Though the course was deleted from teamtreehouse but you can still take that course by going to direct link that is mentioned in the previous line.
