If you're currently using Android Studio 2.0 Beta, there's a known issue
that prevents you from creating AVDs with the N Preview system images, so
you currently need to use the Android Studio 2.1 preview to create AVDs.

(on Mac, <strong>Android Studio > Check for Updates</strong>).</p>
<p>Android Studio 2.1 is currently available as a preview in the canary
release channel. If you already
have Android Studio and don't want to update to the canary channel, you can
download Android Studio 2.1 as a separate installation and use it
for development with Android N, leaving your primary Android Studio
environment unaffected.</p>
<p>To download Android Studio 2.1 as a separate installation, follow these
steps (or if you want to receive Android Studio 2.1 as an update to your
existing installation, skip to step 6):</p>
<ol>
<li>Edit the name of your
existing Android Studio installation and append the version number. This way,
when you install the new version, it will not override the existing one.</li>
<li>Download the appropriate ZIP file for your operating system from the
<a href="http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary/latest"
>canary channel download page</a>.
</li>
<li>Unzip the package and move the Android Studio 2.1 contents to the
appropriate location for applications on your system, then launch it.</li>
<li>In the setup wizard, click <strong>Next</strong> a couple times to
reach the SDK Components Setup screen. Here,
you must set a different path for the <strong>Android SDK Location</strong>.
It can be any directory you want, but it must not be the default path, which
is the same directory used by your original version of Android Studio (unless
you changed that one yourself). The SDK location for Android Studio 2.1
must be different because the N Preview SDK packages are not compatible with
versions of Android Studio lower than 2.1.</p>
</li>
<li>Continue with the setup wizard until you reach the Android Studio IDE.</li>
<li>Open the Settings dialog
(<strong>File &gt; Settings</strong> on Windows/Linux, or
<strong>Android Studio &gt; Preferences</strong> on Mac). In the left
panel, select <strong>Appearance &amp; Behavior &gt; System Settings &gt;
Updates</strong>.
</li>
<li>On the Updates panel, select the <strong>Automatically
check updates for</strong> check box and select
<strong>Canary Channel</strong> from the drop-down list.

</ol>
<p>Keep this settings window open for the next step.</p>
