Android Central Question

Hello everyone !
I want to make an android app that uses "log in with google". I use kivy and kivyauth for that. I managed to create a really simple Desktop app. It works well, BUT it requires the user to have access to the client_id and secret_id. I quite don’t understand how it’s supposed to be a secret if every user must have access to it.

My question is : how do I keep the secret_id (and client_id)… secret ? At the moment, I store them in a text file (ignored by git), but once I’ll launch my app, how do I hide them ?
