Hello all, I recently started Android Development and it is going along well except for the fact that I can't seem to get my emulator to work. The problem is is that whenever I load the emulator and I unlock the screen it takes me the normal home page of the phone and not the app. I tried to create a new AVD but that didn't seem to fix the problem. What do I do?

I'll say something like "starting MainActivity" once it launches your app. As long as the console doesn't say the app is shutting down, then it's just the emulator's normal operation.
