@RAJU If you set the all java_SDk and Android_sdk in environment variable in your system than it is good to handle command from any where so check this steps:

Step1:If you don't set than Fisrt you need to set environment variable of android-sdk like this C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools And this is my location of android sdk your could be different.

Step2:If you use eclipse than create avd with the your application version specified.Than run your emulator.

Step3:After Run That Emulator sucessfully,than open cmd if you use Window than write this command: adb install "E:\path for your apk" at this time make sure that there is only one devices is running ok
