What are apk files and how to deploy apk files

Apk Files:An Android Package Kit (APK for short) is the package file format used by the Android operating system for distribution and installation of mobile applications. Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, the APK does the same for Android.

Once your Android application is signed, you can deploy it to emulators and devices using the adb.exe (Android Debug Bridge) tool (located in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK).
Using the command prompt in Windows, navigate to the <Android_SDK>\platform-tools folder. 
To install the application to an emulator/device (assuming the emulator is currently up and running or a device is currently connected), issue the following command:
adb install "C:\Users\abc\Desktop\Practical1.apk"
