all,

If i were to write a restful service from scratch, how do I isolate it
to only be consumed by a certain android application?

Given the security issues around the APK, embedding an id and passcode
would not be useful, as the code can be easily decompiled, and I am
not sure if obfuscation will be a benefit either.


The only way around would require each user who purchases the app,
provide with unique id and password,embedded in a license file,
generated on purchase...etc.

Are there any other ways? The issue, is I want to avoid piracy, save
bandwidth and cpu cycles and secure the web service for its specified
use only.


Thanks in advance for your input.

-Jeremy
