Apps Android emulator shows nothing but blank screen

[rockstar283]

Hi..I am a complete nOOb to Android programming and trying my hands at it for the first time by going through the tutorials. The problem is that I have created multiple emulators using android 4.4.2 API and none of them show anything but blank screen..I tried an AVD with Google API 19..thats not working either..Can anyone please guide me figuring out wtf is wrong with it..Thanks in advance

 

[out of ideas]

I generally hate the emulator and whole heartedly recommend using a device attached via usb. emulators take a while to load, are you giving it enough time?
