title: Emulators can't load "libGLES_emulation" driver
body: <p>I am in the process of setting up <code>FirebaseUI</code> using <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/firebaseui" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google's guide</a> but I suddenly got an error I can't seem to find a solution for. I'm pretty sure it has to do with my gradle, because I've tried commenting changes in my Java files, using my phone instead of an AVD, and other emulators to no avail. I've included what I got in the Run console, Manifest, and gradles. If you need more information, please let me know. Thanks!</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT: For those with the same issue, I think I fixed it by updating Google Play services on the API Q emulator (you have to sign in to Google Play first), then I added the following to the app-level gradle:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>android {
       ...
       compileOptions {
           ...
           sourceCompatibility = 1.8
           targetCompatibility = 1.8
           ...
       }
       ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>I don't know how it worked, but I hope it does for you too.</strong></p>
