Android emulator doesn't load

Question

I am learning Android studio right now, by following a tutorial series. I created a new project and just added (and formatted) a button in content_main.xml. I also created a new layout resource file named new_layout. I have not coded anything yet, but when I run the program in the emulator, the emulator is stuck on a screen with the google 'G' logo, loading infinitely. Even though the gradle build has finished, the Android emulator is not opening and just keeps loading. Please help.

Turns out the virtual device had some problem, so making a new virtual device in the AVD Manager fixed it.
