Mobile- How to protect my source code?

As you know, android apk can be easily decoded by some decoding tools, which causes the Recources fold exposed completly, all the JS file can be seen from there. as long as anybody gets the JS files, all your work will be stolen. It is a real big problem for me.

Is there anybody knows how to protect the source code in the appcelerator mobile?
