Android application using html

When you say android application I understand its a .apk executable. But When you say developing android application using html, does it mean we still get a .apk file or when we develop using html, is it then called as android web development, which means you won't get a .apk file. But you get a html file that runs on android browser. Is that a correct statement. Because apart from Java and C# Xamarin which will produce a .apk file, I dont think html--->.apk file never happens. So .apk file means apps similar to windows applications, and using html means we create a mobile web application?

It can, if you are using tools like PhoneGap.

or when we develop using html, is it then called as android web development, which means you won't get a .apk file

An HTML5 Web app, particularly with offline caching, can feel a bit like an app. However, it would be written as a Web site or Web app and distributed as such, not distributed in the form of an APK.
