Button not responding in emulator

I did everything exactly the way Ben did it in the video. When I run the project in the emulator, the app shows up, but when I click the button nothing happens. It should turn the text from the ants fact to the ostriches fact.

I run it on a Nexus 5X API 27 emulator on Windows 10. Any thoughts on why it doesn't respond?

Ok, so I have a work around that does work. If I first run the emulator without the app and then run the app, the emulator shows up under 'connected devices'. I choose that one and then the app shows up in the already running emulator and the buttons work. Probably a bug from Android Studio.
