Android Studio: assuring apps and virtual devices compatibility

I tried running some simple programs on some virtual androids that use API level 19, but seems like none of them are compatible, i.e.:

Here are the module properties: enter image description here

My min SDK version: 

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"/>

My questions:

  1. How to assure virtual devices and apps compatibility ahead of time (a checklist of conditions that need to be fullfilled in order for them to be compatible).

  2. How does the IDE check for compatibility? What kinds of things does it compare? Min SDK required, API level?

Not sure about Android Studio but before for Eclipse you the IDE detect the API version from AndroidManifest.XML ; Look for something similar here. For the Apps - AVDs comparability when you create or use an AVD you already specifying the API and same you do for the Application once creation.
