Password protect Android Studio project

Question

I am a full time Android Developer and in the current firm I am working at, I have found my system to have modifications that I didn't perform(when I turned it on the next morning) . I am okay with casual modifications(if at all) but am afraid that if my Android projects may get "stolen", it may get out of hand.

So, without making this a workplace issue, I would simply like to password protect my source.

How can I achieve the same?

Answer 1

I don't think there is such option in android studio but you can do it so easy. After writing your project you can save it as password protected Archive file using 7zip

Go to your project, right click your project folder>>7-Zip>>Add to archive>>Encription>>Add your password>>save. Then delete your project folder after saving and closing android studio. [Do not use export option in android studio because you will need do download all external libraries next time you open it and there is no password protection]
