It'd be great to have an option to define whether we want to remove comments and basic obfuscation method during compilation. This will make the java code less 'readable' before packing them to apk.

Comments are removed by the Java compiler.

Hi Erel,
Thanks. Any possibility to provide basic protection (like obfuscate) over the source scripts/code since the apk is basically a zip file renamed as apk?

Thanks!

If you like you can use existing Java obfuscators. Don't know if and when such feature will be added internally to Basic4android.
