How to secure webservice url in android apk file

Question

I have built one android app, in which it gets data from web service from the url I have mentioned say, "http://www.google.com/getData"

If anyone decrypts my apk file, the webservice url will become visible and there is a chance of misusing it or can use my data or even customize it. I am using android built in HTTP POST for calling web service and getting data.

I want my webservice url to be protected from snoopers, hackers etc. Please suggest what mechanism I can use for securing my web service url. Its a burning issue to me. I am beginner to android. Please help!

Any suggestion or help is appreciated! Thanks!!
