What do you mean by 'run' it? You can run an APK on a virtual device, or a real device, but you can't import the file directly into Android Studio, as it's a binary file. You would have to extract the files from the APK and decompile to retrieve the source code.
Android Studio works by compiling source code, and building an APK to deploy on a device.
