How to hide string resources when decompiling an android application?

Question

Android

The application has a string resource - the address of the server with which it communicates.
How to complicate the extraction of this resource when decompiling the application?

Answer 1

Encrypt string resource and decrypt at runtime. On the other hand, to find out the server address, it is not necessary to decompile the application - it is enough to listen to the traffic.

Answer 2

And what is so secret in the server address? if you need security, then you are looking in the wrong direction, obfuscation will simply make the decompiled code less readable, for this it is needed, by and large its functions are limited to this (yes, you can use it to remove logs and some other goodies, but in general then she is for this =D)
