[Solved] How can I protect the Android code from reverse engineering? [duplicate]

Question

Short answer you cant. If you dont want anyone getting information on your application, dont put it there.

Longer answer? You would need some sort of server and a well written API (REST) where you can do callbacks to files (json). If you prefer not to write your own API, then you can use Parse-Server and use their Cloud Code…. or, use Firebase and use their Cloud Code functionality.

I personally use Parse-Server… but either will be just fine.

You also want to make sure you authenticate the json files so not one else can write to them. Depending on the app, maybe only users can read them. Again, Parse-Server/Firebase make this easy to do.
