How to make Emulator respond in an android studio for the first time start up

Question

I'm a beginner in Android Studio, I want to run my "Hello World!" on the emulator, the emulator start and shows the screen of the phone but the phone isn't responding. As shown in the below picture

I've waited for about 5 hours but is still the same thing, I also tried to close the emulator and run it again but It's still the same. The Emulator is the one that came along with the Android Studio. How can I resolve this issue?

Did you modify the code? or is it the default project code from a new project? — VIN, Oct 30 '18 at 15:55

Similar to this question you probably need to fix some settings before you the emulator. Also try updating android studio especially android avd manager. Restart and then run emulator again

Running the emulator with 512mb of ram or less might be a solution
Changing the resolution of the device may also work

Open AVD manager

Create New Virtual Device

And then pick resolution you want. Recommended 480X800

In advanced settings you can change ram memory of emulator
