android studio emulator loading but not working

Question

I have used Eclipse to write apps for android multiple times without issue but I am now trying the new Android Studio which I like but here is my problem. When I run the app I pick my AVD and then tell it to start. The emulator starts loading and then says paired. Then it starts telling me to swipe up and left and right to display and remove cards. Then it says to put hand on screen to dim the screen, ok well I'm on a MacBook Pro so that don't work I swipe to get past that part sometime I can others I can't. Next it says to touch the clock and say some words which also can't do on my Mac, and that is where the emulator stay it never goes to a home screen and it does this no matter what AVD I choose. How can I get the Emulator to just plain open to the home screen like it should. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

In your AVD Manager, edit your AVD and make sure your Target is "Android L" and not "Android X.XW". The "W" stands for "wear" and that is causing your issue.
