Hi all,

File is a file on the filesystem. Class is a Java class. Activity is a specific java class commonly used in Android.
An activity is actually a class (click) and if you want to make your own activity you choose this one as parent class. And the source code of classes is defined in files, actually every class should be described in its own file.
That's some basic knowledge of object oriented programming - you might want to have a look here to find more information
File - It is a block of arbitrary information, or resource for storing information. It can be of any type
Class - Its a compiled form of .Java file . Android finally used this .class files to produce an executable apk
Activity - An activity is the equivalent of a Frame/Window in GUI toolkits. It is not a file or a file type it is just a class that can be extended in Android for loading UI elements on view
