Android Studio (Unable to find Google API Image) In Virtual Device Configuration

I am trying to use Google Maps in my AVD.

To do this I need to download a system image for my emulator, however I am unable to find a target image Android Studio "with Google API" for API level 17, 18 or 19.

I am checking via "Tools" -> "Android" -> "AVD Manager" (and editing my Nexus 5 system image from here).

I have tried refreshing the downloadable system images. Adding "Google Play Services" and "Google Play Repository" with no luck.

You'll need to launch the avd manager and download one of the google api system images with google api add-on. Unfortunately they tend to be "arm" only around that API level. You're only option in that range is 18. I hightlighted the 16 and 18 level that would work. If you go to 21 you can get x86_64 bit which should be faster. Your 17 targeted code will work, but if you want to test 17 specific code it of course won't and you'll need to have an actual device.

Note the items highlighted in green.
