I want to be sure that my app’s content is safe. I have a password for encrypted database inside of my app and I just want to figure out if there are safe places in my project which can’t be accessed by reverse engineering.
And it would be great if u explain shortly how reverse engineering works. ThanQ.
And plz don’t post links to ProGuard!
Any hard-coded value CAN be viewed by reverse engineering your app.
This includes passwords, urls, etc.
In order to reverse engineer an android app, proceed with the following steps:
1- Rename your app’s APK file to ZIP (e.g. myapp.apk -> myapp.zip)
2- Open the zip file and retrieve the classes.dex file.
3- Use dex2jar to get a jar file from classes.dex
4- Use jd-gui to open the jar file and view your original code.
