Location of .apk file

I recently built an Android application using Eclipse (Galileo) on my PC/Xp. I'm a noob to Android development and it took me 2 months to build my app while reading/experimenting with all the Java and other programming ups/downs. The project runs fine on Eclipse. I now want to sign the application (currently reading on how to do this) in preparation to releasing it to the Android Market. At this point, I am stumped. The "signing your application" talks about signing the .apk file with your private key. My question is: where is the .apk file located on my PC/Eclipse files. I know where the src, res, manifest, and R.java files are located because I've been using them for the past 2 months. Where is the .apk file located? Hopefully someone can help me.

If you already running your project on emulator,you just close that emulator.And goes to

Project->clean
Project->BuildProject.

And then run your project in emulator and then check it out

bin/res/your.apk file

In Eclipse the default location for a compiled *.apk file is in the bin directory under the project workspace.

For example, my Eclipse workspace is under c:\Users\crsierra\workspace and my Eclipse Project is named HelloWorld. Therefore the HelloWorld.apk file will be located under c:\Users\crsierra\workspace\HelloWorld\bin\HelloWorld.apk
