Can I compile text files in raw folder to binary to encrypt it from being readable by other users?
Where should I put text files to compile binary in the apk file in order to be unavailable for the user to read?
I’v been putting many text file in res/raw folder as I do not want anyone to use my text files.
Some help please
I am assuming that by “compile”, you mean “encrypt”. You are welcome to encrypt files and put them in
res/raw/. It will do you little good, as anyone who wants to will be able to decompile your app, get your encryption key, and decrypt the files.They are not your files. They are the user’s files, since it is the user’s device. If the user wishes to access those files, the user will do so. If you do not want the files to be accessed that way, do not put them on the user’s device in the first place.
