title: How to prevent Assets files from reverse engineering in APK
body: <p>I've a question related to Data security in Android development. Right now i am working in an application where i need to keep an existing database in assets folder so App can copy it in to the internal writable location to avoid the large database download from server during first time installation. But unfortunately using APK decompiling tool one can view the files in assets folder included this database file. Is there a way to prevent my assets-files from being decompiled so Data security can be assured in my application. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks. </p>
