This may be flagged as to broad or open ended, but I was wondering...
I have an android app that I would like to market. It is a direct api/communicator with a lamp server. An apk allows for my code to be proprietary and prevent IP theft from what I know, however half of the code is in the php/mysql code of the app.
I can easily just incorporate the mysql procedures into the php script, but is there some way to incorporate the php scripts into the apk thereby at least somewhat protecting the php code which is part and parcel of the intellectual property?
