EDIT:
When I restarted my computer, I saw there was an update available for Android Studio, so I updated it accordingly. When I ran the main activity as I have done so previously with my preferred AVD selected the emulator failed to start. Then I attempted to run it through the terminal with both -gpu host and -gpu swiftshader_indirect commands and it still did not work.
SOLUTION TO MY ISSUE: 1. Restart computer. 2. Open Android Studio and run the emulator through the terminal using emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_29 -gpu host. 3. Now run the main activity.
It is beyond me why all of a sudden now this is the work around to run on the emulator when I have previously simply clicked run main activity with my preferred AVD and it would run without problems.
I hope this helps if anyone runs into this issue. I do not think this a complete solution, but I can live with this for the time being.
