If you have to use command line for creating your AVD, you can call android create avd -n -t where targetID is the API level you need.

Usually during development you just use the same Ant script you used to build the project, just select install target.

Or, as an alternative, you can use the following command: adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n.

For example: adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.sample.helloworldorg.sample.helloworld.HelloWorld.

As a commenter suggested, you can also replace org.sample.helloworld.HelloWorld in the line above with just.HelloWorld, and it will work too.
