I have developed an android application, which uses image files and strings from the res folder. Is it possible for me to distribute the app in a manner that enables the users to modify the strings and images stored in the res folder, without accessing the code from the java classes.

Can I distribute these separately, so that a user can modify the value of the strings and replace the images (not add new or delete existing) and rebuild the apk, without being able to read the Java code?

Thanks.

    I think your best bet would be to build a web interface where users can upload the images and strings they want into a form, you can generate the resources on the server, package it up and sign it, then give them back a download link.

    The whole process could be automated as long as you have Java and headless aapt installed on the server.
