Research direction

Locate the Google API and password-related entries in strings.xml, then inspect how those values are read by the Android app. Check the project's existing configuration handling for keys.properties. Done means the private values come from keys.properties and are no longer stored in strings.xml, with the app still accessing them correctly.
