How to import APK file on Android Studio - android-studio

can anyone give me information on how to import an APK file (which was created on Animate) into Android Studio for testing on their emulator? looking around the internet I found only bits and pieces of information which were very confusing for the most part, none was a solid start to finish instruction. can anyone help me with either instruction or provide a good link?

You don't usually import apk file to run in Android Studio. If you have the apk file and want it to run in an emulator, you have to drag and drop the file in the emulator, it will show up in the download folder of the emulator, and from there you can install it.

The debug verion of apk file is already generated and you can find it in your system at AndroidStudioProjects\YourApplication\app\build\outputs\apk\debug

Is there a way to decode APK files in Android Studio to recover a project file?

I lost my Android Studio project; I deleted it by mistake.
I still have the apk file; is there any chance that I can get my project back using this file somehow?
It wouldn't be possible to generate the project back from APK file. You can do reverse engineering to get the code back but its not 100% useful.

Flutter in Android Studio: Build Bundle/APK greyed out

I installed Flutter and Android Studio following this link here:
https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/editor
I've been coding in flutter for two months now and can run my app in simulator or on a connected device no problem.
But when I try to actually build an apk via "Build" --> "Build Bundle(s) / APK", this option is greyed out.
Android Studio: 3.3.2
You can't build apk using Build option in Android Studio if you are running your Flutter project.
There are 2 solutions to build it.
In terminal, write flutter build apk (this will build apk for release version not the debug version)
Open your module in Android Studio and you can use Build option of the Android studio to build the debug apk.
For option 2, you can go to build.gradle file and you should see an option in Android Studio asking you to open the module separately (see the screenshot) Tap on this option and you can then build your apk in both debug and release mode.
I realize this might have already been answered, but I have another solution to this issue. I was having the same problem after modifying my pubspec.yaml file, so after trying to build within terminal nothing would happen. Apparently, you have to open the .yaml file within Android Studio from your project directory in order to for AS to realize that there's been a change to the file. After I opened the file from the project folder, the option for Build > flutter > Build Bundle(s) /APK > Build App Bundle finally reappeared again. Just sharing my experience and hope it can help someone else who may come across this rather strange issue.
Reopen the project from your projects directory, not from recent projects option. This solved for me
Please follow these steps:-
Go To Project Structure>Project>NOSDK
Change NOSDK to the latest
ANDROID API PLATFORM
Then go to MODULE and DO THE SAME
