APK files are meant to be used by the Android OS to install an application. If you want to use one on an android phone/simulator, use “adb install something.apk” from the terminal/command line. Alternatively, you could email the apk to yourself, then open your email on the device and open the attachment.
APK files are basically just a wrapper around an app, you can also open one in a program like WinRAR or some other unzipping/decompression program on your computer to view their contents.
