How to secure packets from android to http server

Is there any way to secure sending of data from my android application to http server? I have read articles that changing http to https will make it easier and secured. If I get to successfully change it to https, is still there not enough security for data-sniffing or will that be enough for security??

https means there will be TLS tunnel which means all the data inside http will be encrypted. Someone can always sniff the traffic but with https the traffic will be encrypted, so they will not be able to see the data, unless they can break the encryption.

There are also different versions of TLS protocol and cipher suits. If you switch to https check if you are using proper ones, not some outdated that can be broken easily.

As to if this will be enough security, it depends on the project/ your company standards for security and compliance.
