Hide URL Link in HTTP POST in android

Question

I would like to hide my URL in HTTP POST Request from USERS. Like if I extract my APK I would be able to see the link when I use the following to access few details from mySQL in the code.

private static String url_all_contacts = "http://www.mydomain.com/xxxsa/all.php;
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(url_all_contacts, "GET", params);

I would like to know is there any way to hide the URL?

Thanks!

Obfuscate your code. try progaurd http://developer.android.com/tools/help/proguard.html — Pr38y, Jul 10 '14 at 06:48
I might be completely wrong, but why are you doing this? Your variable `url_all_contacts` hints to .. well.. sending all contacts. And then you don't want anyone to see what url you are using. Are you doing something you shouldn't? — Nanne, Jul 10 '14 at 07:46

@Pr38y: I already tried progaurd but I am still able to see the links clearly. — TheDevMan, Jul 10 '14 at 09:14

@intrepidkarthi : I am already using proguard when I extract the apk I can easily see the link.. – TheDevMan Jul 10 '14 at 08:58
Something wrong with your progaurd-config. Are you enabling it? because Progaurd surely obfuscate the code. I am using it in almost all my project. – Pr38y Jul 10 '14 at 09:24
It is doing the job but not the link? – TheDevMan Jul 10 '14 at 09:38
