  2. Under Android 4.4.2, select Android Wear ARM EABI v7a System Image and install it.

  3. Under Extras, ensure that you have the latest version of the Android Support Library. If an update is available, select Android Support Library. If you're using Android Studio, also select Android Support Repository.
