Your app may not be building correctly. Are you getting errors in android studios? Is your app on the device under applications?

I don't have any errors and for the second puestion: yes. I didn't change anything but I can't run the app

Can you try removing the app from the emulator, cleaning the build and running it again?

how to do this?

Click and hold the app on the emulator.

Drag it up to uninstall and drop.

Go back to android studios.

Click Build on the menu at the top.

Go down to clean project and click.

Wait a little bit for clean to finish.

Click the green arrow and select the emulator.

Check the emulator for results.
