Notice that only some hardware profiles are indicated to include Play Store. This
indicates that these profiles are fully CTS compliant and may use system images that
include the Play Store app.

If you don't see the hardware profile you want, you can create or import a hardware profile.
The System Image page appears.

4. Select the system image for a particular API level, and then click Next.
The Recommended tab lists recommended system images. The other tabs include a more
complete list. The right pane describes the selected system image. x86 images run the fastest
in the emulator.
If you see Download next to the system image, you need to click it to download the system
image. You must be connected to the internet to download it.
The API level of the target device is important, because your app won't be able to run on a
system image with an API level that's less than that required by your app, as specified in the
minSdkVersion attribute of the app manifest file. For more information about the relationship
between system API level and minSdkVersion, see Versioning Your Apps.
If your app declares a <uses-library> element in the manifest file, the app requires a system
image in which that external library is present. If you want to run your app on an emulator,
create an AVD that includes the required library. To do so, you might need to use an add-on
component for the AVD platform; for example, the Google APIs add-on contains the Google
Maps library.
The Verify Configuration page appears.
Change AVD properties as needed, and then click Finish.
Now you get a new AVD ready for launching your apps on it.
