It just happened to me as well. Not only that previously build applications could not start due to mysterious "Could not find HelloAndroid.apk!", but also "Project --> Clean" would delete *.R and Build was NOT able to regenerate it. I tried literally everything posted about those two errors on this forum without success.

Then I remembered that I had (several hours before) update of Android tools. So, I did it again, and as it turned to be true, something went wrong due to previous update - I was offered new update and afterwards, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. Project -> Clean was doing what is was supposed to do, *.R was generated, projects were free of errors, and missing APK was no more issue.

I was also facing the same error.

You can clean the project through the Project tab and build it again.

To verify that an .apk was actually created, you can check your name_of_project/bin/ folder and see if the name_of_project.apk is there.

It can be directly deleted from there as well to force re-building.
