Emulator doesn't care for changes in code

So I'm using genymotion emulator, and this is the first time I'm having this issue.

I've been playing around a lot with verbose debug logs in the Callback().onResponse method to see if I'm actually getting there, because I'm not getting the same data output as ben, while the app doesn't crash either.

Which was hard to do, because fo the most part, my genymotion emulator doesn't care for changes I make in my code. What that means is, I change the way I'm logging in the code, run the new code, but the app in the emulator still logs the same stuff as before (despite having deleted those logs). Actually uninstalling the app from the emulator instance before running it again doesn't help. Sometimes, when adding yet new logs (or any new code), genymotion will update to the state my app was in before the most recent changes.

When I close the genymotion instance and open up a new one, I get the update on the app, but I surely don't want to have to close/open a new emlator instance everytime I want to look at a change I made in my code.

Also, I started using VCS wth github with this weather app project, just for practice. committing the changes seems to solve the issue to, but it's not really a solution because, again, you do not want to commit every small change you make!

This is quite frustrating because this kind of behaviour is just pure nonsensical. Why wouldn't the emulator show me the updated up, instead of using code I have already deleted?
