Coming form a web development background where all your files are uploaded to a server individually, the APK file is very different to me!

From what I gather it’s kind of like a zip or exe file similar to software you install on a computer, e.g. Eclipse its self. Then when installed on a device the files and folders are extracted back into something similar to the file/folder structure I was working on in eclipse. And in which case I then again have access somehow to say the /res and /assets folders once the APK is installed?

Am I on the right track?

    Android application package file. Each Android application is compiled and packaged in a single file that includes all of the application’s code (.dex files), resources, assets, and manifest file. The application package file can have any name but must use the .apk extension (e.g., myExampleAppname.apk). For convenience, an application package file is often referred to as an .apk.
