your problem should be something else related. probably your project is corrupted. try a clean one to see if it occurs for you or you are testing on an emulator which conflicts your supported architectures CPU variant for X86 using defaults: x86_64

Fixed this by installing “Google APIs Intel x86 System Image” through the SDK Manager and creating a new emulator with that CPU
