Since the decryption algorithm and key would have to be part of your apk as well, someone could conceivably decompile your app and get all the information they need to decrypt the data. So you can't make it 100% secure, you can only make it less convenient for someone trying to get the data. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
