How to secure string in Android Application ?

Options:

1. ProGuard: It does not secure string? Does proguard work to obfuscate stati

Answer 1

For String encryption we have created an gradle plugin to hide your keys inside your Android app using the NDK and XOR operator. The goal is to obfuscate your keys to prevent reverse engineering of your app.

You can optionally provide a custom encoding/decoding algorithm to improve the security of your key.
