We will be building an application that will contain lots of assets that contain hundreds of images and videos. We will be side loading the initial application because of its size.
For security reason we want the media folder that contains the assets to be in the application root dir.
We already know features to be added later on so we will have to do upgrades. Is it possible to upgrade the application but include media that it initially contains?
If not how could we secure a folder outside of the application.
Thank you
To be honest, this isn’t a very effective security mechanism – it’s extremely easy to root almost any Android device, and on a rooted device users would have no difficulty getting at assets in your application root directory.
A better bet might be to encrypt your media assets somehow; that way, you can download them on startup rather than bundling them with the application, so the APK can stay small and the assets can easily be retained no an upgrade.
