Many people, however, wonder if they can open APK files on a computer running on, say, the Windows Operating System. Well, APK files are quite similar to JAR (Java Archive) files in terms of composition, and both file formats are loosely based on the “.ZIP” file format that zipped files have. That being the case, you can open an APK file on a Windows computer by opening it in WinRAR, WinZip, or any other file archiving program (or by renaming the APK file in question to have the .zip extension instead of the .apk extension and then unzipping it using a file archiving program). When you open an APK file on a computer this way, you will be able to take a peek at its innards – you will be able to see every file included in the application package. However, what you won’t be able to do when you open an APK file on a computer by unzipping it is install or run the Android application it is for. The only way to execute the compiled application code an APK file contains on a Windows computer is through a Dalvik virtual machine (either created for your Operating System and processor combination or emulated). The simplest and most user-friendly way to run an Android application on a Windows computer is through an Android OS emulator. There are tons of Android emulators out there for Windows, each of which has its own perks and their own flaws. One of the best and most widely used Android emulators out there for computers happens to be the BlueStacks App Player developed by a tech company named BlueStacks. BlueStacks makes it extremely easy for anyone with a Windows computer to open APK files on their computers, install the applications they are for and run and use those applications. To open an APK file on a computer using the BlueStacks App Player, you need to:
