28,738 PointsHello,
That message is normal for anytime you open the default emulator. If you're getting just a black screen, or just the word Android across the screen, you are running into a common problem with the default Emulator. If you have an Intel CPU or are running Linux, you could try utilizing some hardware acceleration. First you need to make sure virtualization is enabled in your BIOS. Instructions for getting HAXM running with Intel CPUs on Windows can be found here. On Linux, it should be as simple as using an x86 device on the emulator. Please let us know if this helps or if you need more assistance.

28,738 PointsCould you try running the emulator manually and add the -debug-all flag at the end of the command?
