    <blockquote> <p>Given the fact that nothing can be protected from eventual reverse-engineering, is it really worth it to go to such great length to protect an application/service?</p> </blockquote> <p>This is indeed an interesting question! To answer it one also has to ask: What is the expected cost of <em>not</em> protecting the app?</p> <p>If the items sold via IAP incurr an actual cost for the provider/developer (think for instance of selling MP3s where for each download the provider might have to pay a license fee himself) this becomes even more important. This usually indicates the the possible win for an adversary and, thus, the effort he may be willing to invest in reverse engineering.</p> <p>However, my impression is that there is only a marginal "black market" for cracked/pirated/... apps, the rationale being that it is not possible to offer those cracks or cracked apps via Google's market, which is the only one that comes pre-installed on all Android phones. Regular users will never see any other source of apps.</p> <p>So, if you expect to sell a bigger volume of your app, you might well live with, say, 1% fraud by "power users". If your app is somewhat special and pricey and you expect to sell only a couple dozens or hundreds, you will be more interested in securing your intellectual property.</p> <p>The first step in securing will always be obfuscation, which will take your app's security pretty far with (almost) no additional effort on your side. I recommend to obfuscate <em>every</em> app published if there are no strong reasons against it (stacktraces, for instance, may become completely useless in an obfuscated app).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
