I want to run in Emulator a System Image with Google APIs installed. I downloaded the System Images for API Version 19 (among others). When I go to start a new AVD in Android Studio, for API = 19 - I am not seeing the image with Google APIs. It should be there because I did download it using the SDK Manager (see screen clippings below).

Am I missing something?

See below screen in AVD Manager showing that the Kitkat does not have an image with Google APIs.

Please try the following solution it's work for me.

If you can not find system image in Android Studio in emulator then go to your Android-SDK you are using in your Android Studio like C:\Users\MB\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\android-sdk and open AVD Manager.

After open AVD Manager create new AVD and start this newly created AVD.

This AVD is available in your Deployment target and also in your Android Studio AVD manager when you will open AVD Manager next time.

Also, check screenshot for it.
