How can I protect videos in the ..res/raw/ folder of my Android app's APK?

The Android app I'm working on will contain some videos in the ..res/raw folder. If I open the APK with an archive manager tool, I can nav开发者_JAVA技巧igate to the videos and then extract and view them easily.

How can I stop them from being stolen?

The app needs to be compatible with Android 2.1 and up.

Cheers!

I think you need to encrypt your video file and only store that encrypted file in res/raw/ floder. I've never done such thing but maybe that's a hint: How to encrypt video from url and save encrypted video to device's SD Card

when the android documentation is right try this:
