Android Question Obfuscation Question

[pfillion]

Hi,

I read that any string in "Process_Globals sub" will be obfuscated. Which makes it the best place to store an encryption key... like the BillingManager key...

My question is will B4A also obfuscate strings in "Class_Globals sub" ?

No. For now only Process_Global strings are obfuscated.

OK, so no mater if the Process_Global variable is in an Activity or a Code Module they will both be obfuscated?

Just to make sure because I don't want my encryption key to be discovered by mistake...

Yes. Note that you can see it by opening the generated Java source code.

You will see something like:
_vvvv4 = BA.__b (new byte[] {90,35,-97,-51,102,118}, 905245);

The string will appear in the comments but the comments are removed during compilation.

Great, thank you!
