703 PointsEmulator?!
I am working on a MacBook with El Capitan. My android emulator is in its own window not inside the studio. I am exactly on the same page as him; I triple checked. Do I need a different version? Different phone to emulate? I got this laptop because my PC has AMD and the Studio only works with Intel. If this is an issue with my computer I am going to go somewhere else.

703 PointsMine has remained blank, try as I might. They all say nothing to display. He has said that that is the emulator. I also get an error message and it says I need jdk 1.8 or later. I have 1.8 I checked multiple times.

703 PointsThen why is his in studio and if it doesn't matter why can't I interact with my emulator?
