[android-developers] Re: Mechanism to ensure request comes from my app

Keep in mind that other apps can access your app's resources and
assets, and in fact anyone can access your apk and obtain anything
hidden therein.

I wish Android provided a way that a server could determine if a
request was generated by some app 'package id' signed by a given key
-- but this is not available as far as I know.
