I get an error that says :ADB not responding" when i try and run the app.

ADB not responding. You can wait more, or kill "adb.exe" process manually and click 'Restart'

It sounds like you might need to kill ADB and restart it. You can do this from task manager, or I believe there is a way to do it directly from Android Studio by going to the Android Device Monitor (Green android robot icon on your toolbar near the very end, past the SDK Manager). You'll have a window for "Devices" on the far left. There are a series of buttons next to that tab, and towards the end is a little drop down caret for a drop down menu. Under that is an option to "Reset ADB".

If you continue to have issues after that, it might be worth checking to see if there is an update for your SDK in the SDK Manager (Or even reinstalling the SDK, if it is needed).
