Cannot change API Level on Android Studio

I'm very new to Android development and this is one of my first projects. I realized that my API Level is set to 20 when datepicker gave an "exception rasied during rendering" error.

I wanted to change the API level to 19 as the API 20 is set to wearable devices. I have installed the API 19 SDK but it doesnt appear for selection during development.

I have also tried to set -

minSdkVersion 10

targetSdkVersion 20

on build gradle but it doesn't work.

I cannot run the emulator as the API is set to 20 and it will display error on a watch :(

How do I set make the API 19 as one of the options during development as I already installed the SDK?

Set

compileSdkVersion 19

in your build.gradle.

minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion control app installation and runtime backwards compatibility modes, not the SDK you build with.
