My FunFacts app doesn't show up in the AVD of the emulator

At 00:37 of the Running the FunFacts Project video, my FunFacts app doesn't show up in the AVD of the emulator, after pressing Run

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I saw the following texts in red in the Android Monitor at the bottom of the Android Studio, after pressing Run, could that have something to do with the FunFacts app not showing up in the AVD?

Thanks.

I think you should wait for some time , the default emulator is slow.Use Genymotion , it is fast.

I had this exact issue with React-Native and the AVD, usually because Gradle was impatient, and would timeout on slow devices/system. In my experience it would not show the timeout error unless you ran the compiler with the debug flag, so it would look like all was fine. You can manually run debug with gradle to see the exact error.

./gradlew <project folder> --debug

I'm not sure where yours compiles the apk to, but with the device open on the home screen, you can always send the compiled apk to the device without having to recompile it every single time. Here is the folder Gradle uses with RN, but it may be a little different but close.

adb install android/<project folder>/build/outputs/apk/<apk file>

I'm sorry that I cannot provide a concrete answer, and I really helps someone in some way; I wanted to at least try to shed some light on the question.
