I am building an App that needs to connect to a Web Service.

In order to connect to the Web Service I need to authenticate with some credentials.

The users of the app won't need to login or provide any credentials, these will be added by me in the coding.

Is there any easy way to store in Android securely credentials? I need to mention that the Web Service is developed by another company so I can't do any changes on that side.

My main concern is that if someone will decompile the app this credential shouldn't be visible.

Thanks in advance.

you can create a class and set your constants there and for protection against decompiling use pro guard while compiling your app – Pramod Yadav Feb 09 '15 at 09:07
Did you mean htaccess and password? – Amsheer Feb 09 '15 at 09:08
