As you may know,
Google copied Linux/Unix,
put the files into a ZIP wrapper,
and called it an Android APK file.

To explore an Android APK file,
[ View the graphics, play the audio, etc.]

all you have to do,
is right click on an APK file,
and set it to "Open With" to WinZip, Winrar.
or your favorite unzipper.

Thereafter, any time you click on an APK file,
you can view the graphics, play the audio,
view the resources, explore the programming, etc.

If you want to convert an APK file to Linux/Unix,
download "Dex2Jar" from
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/

then unzip one of the APK files
to a convenient directory,

navigate to the directory
and right click on the CLASSES.DEX file,
and set it to "Open With" "dex2jar".

Thereafter, anytime you click on an Android DEX file
this will convert the Android DEX file
to a Unix JAR file and put it in the directory
with the Android resourses.

If you want to modify the Android program,
you can download a free Java decompiler
from http://java.decompiler.free.fr
