How do you deal with "To dim screen, cover it with your palm" in an emulator???

I created an emulator for the fun facts app but when I run it it takes me through a series of set up "tasks", the last of which being "To dim screen, cover it with your palm" which is preventing me from moving forward - can anyone help me get past this step?

Hey Kerin! Is your target SDK set to Android 4.4W by any chance? The "W" stands for Android Wear, which might be why it's taking you through those set-up tasks. If you're using 4.4W, try switching it to Android 4.4.2 or something else.
