Did you solve this??

This happens to me semi-regularly too. Not sure why it happens but I can get by it by cleaning the project (Build –> Clean Project), re-syncing the files (File –> Sync Project with Gradle Files), and wiping the data from the emulator (click arrow next to emulator in the Device Manager and select 'Wipe Data').
