You can hide your links by set all url links and paramete names in strings.xml for example: http://wwww.yourdomain.com/yourpage.any user_name and get url such at :

String serverUrl = Resources.getsystem().getstring(R.strings.name_your_link_id); String parameterKey = Resources.getsystem().getstring(R.strings.name_your_parameter_id); Uri url = Uri.parse(serverUrl+"?"+parameterKey+"=" + yorusername);

and make any http request HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

when any one try to decompiled your app he will show only id as long integer in R.java file get code such this String serverUrl = Resources.getsystem().getstring(12346546564); String parameterKey = Resources.getsystem().getstring(123321321132);
