[android-developers] Where to store service account private key file?

Hi

I am trying to make my android app work with the Google Dive API. The app needs to store some data and hence I am using application owned service account as detailed in https://developers.google.com/drive/service-accounts

I got it working but I have a serious question. The Google service account requires an email ID and a private key file to be passed to Google Credential object in the app for it to work. This means that the private key file needs to be stored somewhere on the device along with the app. 

I am currently storing it under app assets but not sure if its the right and a 'secure' place to store it. Anybody can confirm if assets is the right place and if not, where should the private key file be stored?

Take care,

Pankaj
