What is an .APK file?

APK files are Android packages that store apps for the Android operating system. APK packages store all the necessary files for an Android app, such as the compiled resources and application manifest. Typically, APK files are hidden from users because services such as Google Play automatically download and install them. However, many APKs are available for download from third-party websites and can be used for installing apps manually.

File Viewer Plus cannot install or run APK files, but the software allows you to extract the contents of the package, similar to extracting a ZIP archive. This capability may be useful for users who would like to examine the contents within an Android package.
