Will proguard work to obfuscate static string constants?

You can obfuscate Android code to provide security against reverse engineering. You can use the Android ProGuard tool to obfuscate, shrink, and optimize your code.
Simply by enabling Proguard, we at Gradeup reduced our app size by a whooping 40%! It obfuscates the code, which means that it renames classes, fields, and methods with semantically obscure names that, in addition to making the codebase smaller and more efficient, also makes it difficult to reverse engineer the app.
ProGuard can't obfuscate strings. xml. You can use other software to obfuscate your file like DexGuard.
ProGuard doesn't obfuscate string constants, as mentioned in its FAQ. Its more recent specialized closed-source sibling for Android, DexGuard, provides additional application protection techniques, like string encryption and class encryption.
