security - Where to store a key in android? -


i developing mobile app retrieve data web server via web service call. calls different web services down using api key. question how , api key must stored? worth noting communication taken on https protocol.

you can use res->values->strings.xml

but if want make more secure can use api. suppose have api named www.myapikeysholder.com. api rechive post data "app_pkg" , if app package name provide api key response. , can save key in sqlite database or share performance.
sample come you:

// create asychttpclient object asynchttpclient client = new asynchttpclient(); // http request params object requestparams params = new requestparams(); params.put("app_pkg", getpackagename().tostring());  client.post("www.myapikeysholder.com", params, new       asynchttpresponsehandler() {     @override     public void onsuccess(string response) {          string api=response; //api give api key          updatesqlite("api_key",api);     } });

to support code need jar file.
