Its necessary to remove comments from strings.xml file on Android?

for security reasons is necessary remove all mi sensitive comments like urls, so i wonder if is necessary to remove it from my strings.xml file, because I researched and I found when application is package into *.apk the comments inside of an layout.xml will be suppressed, but i can't figured out if it apply too for the comments in the path res/values/*.xml

Do you have any idea?

Thanks for your support.

Solution

  • No, you don't have to remove the comments from any xml resources. They are removed automatically when you compile the apk file.
