In a nutshell: - Eclipse compiles your .java into .class - "dx" converts the various .class into bin/classes.dex. - aapt compiles your resources in a compact binary form. - the manifest, the compiled resources and the classes.dex get combined in your apk file, which is just a zile file. Unzip the apk to have a look at it. You can find many tutorials out there and youtube videos on android that explain that.
