Android Question Obfuscated question

[AHilberink]

Hi,

I use:

Process_Globals
Dim ApiUrl As String : ApiUrl ="blabla"

The blabla contains an Url with a password.
As I understood for my previous thread:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/publishing-on-playstore.120318/
"Compiled code can be converted back to java"

Is obfuscation a way to protect this string to be public?
What will you do to prevent this URL to be readable afterwards?

BR, André

Write it like this:

Dim ApiUrl As String = "blabla"

Obfuscation will make it more difficult to retrieve this string from the compiled APK.

There is no 100% safe way to hide a password inside the compiled code.

Thanks, Erel.
