I have written code for an android application using ApacheCordova. Now i want to generate apk file from that source code inside an android smartphone. Is it possible ?
You can use Shareit. When you share your app through ShareIt, the shareit would generate .apk file and send to other user. Thus you get your .apk file.

I have followed this tutorial on how to upload an app to Google Play
I have built my app in Android Studio, tested it and it works. I now want to upload the app to Google Play, Amazon App store, Samsung Apps, my own website etc..
After following the instructions down to the bottom on how to sign my app, I click locate file which takes me to 'build\outputs\apk\debug' and the files are app-debug.apk and output.json.
Are these the files for my app and if I want someone to install my app from my website do they download both?
Edit-
After running build again I found another link further down which takes me to app-release.aab, this looks more accurate.
Is this file my app, does it just need to be downloaded on to an android device to run?
.apk file is the file used for the app.
.aab is a bundle file it is used by app stores to distibute diffierent versions of the same app based on device.
I uploaded .apk file to my server. I can then download that file on my android device from my server and it will run the app.
My app is developed in react-native and the third party app provider are charging to implement the code for deep-linking.Though they have shared the .APK file with me.Through some videos & google search,I have learned that I will be able to do it by myself.I want to add deep-linking code in the AndroidManifest.xml file but how to open .apk in Android Studio and how to generate .apk file again once the changes are complete after testing on virtual device.
If you think that there will be issues by approaching through .APK file or its not the best way/standard process to achieve this ,then,please suggest me that what I need to ask them to share with me so that it can be imported in Android Studio without any issues and I can do some coding & test it and again generate .apk file to upload it on Google Play Store.
I'm pretty sure you will not be able to do that, you will have to access the source code to do the changes.

Hi i am new to android development.
I am creating one application. I need to send sample application to client for testing purpose.
In iPhone development we can send .ipa file to client using TestFlightApp. Is there any way to do this similar way for Android application testing.
Please help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance
each time you build your application, an apk file is created in your project's bin folder. you can use that file for testing purposes
Right click on your application project folder
Scroll down to Android tools
click on : Export as signed Android application
Use the debug key located on your sdk folder to sign the app
,the password's key : android
and you will get a debug signed apk ready to install on any device .
To keep track of your apks you may create a string variable and use it as build tag so you don't get confused by multiple apks .
I'm doing so on my project , you can also create an unsigned apk but I don't know if you will be able to install it on a real device .
Some use maven to build the apk but it's more complicated .
Hi i'm new to android my client want to run the app in their on Android Device i go through the many answers through Stack overflow like this:-
How to make .apk file
How to build an APK file in Eclipse?
but i'm unable to make build.
I want to make a build of app in which is usually .apk extension and how i'm able to install this .apk file in my clients android device it doesn't have any eclipse or IDE.
Please suggest me the way or some links regarding this process to build and install the app in clients android device without using eclipse or any IDE.
Thanks in advance.
Eclipse create .apk file of your project by itself and save it in bin folder copy that apk file and send that to client and tell him to save apk on SD card and run directly from SD card. It will work.
the moment you run the app on the emulator or a device, the .apk file is created and put in /%YOUR PROJECT%/bin/app.apk
you can send that to your client...
