Android app not executed in avd

Issue

I've installed the Android SDK in my OSX Mountain Lion, from the following url http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html where is only required to unzip the file to get the environment working fine.

It's true that it works, but when I try to execute in avd the emulator opens, but the app never appears.

I've tried with different devices and with different apps, and executing adb kill-server and adb start-server. But is not working.

EDIT:

The console says:

[2012-12-25 22:47:00 - test] adb is running normally.

Solution

Ah, yes, "No launcher activity found" is a good indication of the problem. See What does it mean “No Launcher activity found!”.
