Android Question Another way to encrypt a DB?

[mitobobo]

Dear,

Is there any way to encrypt a DB other than SQLCipher? SQLCipher is too heavy in terms of size.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and suggestions.

Oh, I see KeyValueStore might be something similar and useful as an alternative to SQLCipher for non-complex databases....

You can store encrypted data in SQLite database then decrypt it by your app. However, they can take the password by dicompile your code.

I have seen the SQLCipher large footprint issue in my Pre-Algebra Tester app (link in my signature below). I am going to use the KeyValueStore model for my next app. If you are able to devise or come across a better model for addressing security, I would appreciate your help.

Thanks everyone! Surely I'll, JohnD. Maybe someone else can suggest us different ways....
