- Start the emulator.
- In Android studio click the Green Play button.
- Choose the emulator from the Device Chooser window.
- Click the OK button to launch the app on the selected device
From here be patient while Android studio runs gradle to build your app once its done it will deploy to your phone.

1,066 PointsI just noticed that after running the emulator, when I look at the bottom of android studio it says "Gradle build finished" whereas in the videos on here it says that the app was run on the emulator. Also, when I click android monitor while working on the app, it says emulator unknown. Im not sure if either of those things have to do with why the app isn't showing up but hopefully this is better information
