Answer 2

Here is the solution. First there are two types of application in android devices

1. Default application (ie installed by manufacture)
2. From third party app(ie from play store etc)

If you want apk of the third party application connect your android device in your computer and launch android studio. Open Device File Explore --> data -->app . Right click on the apk you want and save it on your local device(ie computer);

For the default app which installed by manufacture repeat the previous procedure but in this step go to Device File Explore --> system -->app. Right click on apk you want and save it.
