There are a couple of things you can do:
Hide the app from the app drawer. To open the app
you have to go to settings and look for the complete app listing
which include system apps.
Search how to hide the app for your particular android version.
Connect the phone to the computer and install the wallet as a system app using
adb. Being a system appt you can disable it from the app’s context menu and
the app will not be visible. To open it you have to enable it from the settings.
In both cases is extremely improbable that someone that grabs it will start
to look for hidden or disabled apps in an old and seemingly discarded phone.
That’s why NOBODY has to know that you save your keys in this way.
Just grab an old phone, the older, cheaper and unatractive the better.
Nature teaches us that disguise is the best way to hide.
And in case is stolen, you have a good amount of time to move your coins to another wallet.

And in case is stolen, you have a good amount of time to move your coins to another wallet. In other words, restore the wallet to a different device using the master key, and then transfer the coins?
