I am working on this topic recently, base on my project RCP for Android. http://code.google.com/p/rcpandroid/
Now bundles (sub-apks) can be loaded after encrypted. 2008/4/19, Jackkk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Hi! > > I was wondering about some real world issues about commercial > applications: > > - Will there be a possibility for encrypted APKs as some of the > information included with the app (files, media, images, databases) > can be copyrighted with the need to protect it from illegal copy. > - Could there be an Android based solution for evaluation purposes and > time limitations? > - How can we protect our software from being just copied from one > phone to another?
