SQLCipher Loadlibs and db password change

Question

SQLCipher website mentions

"Init the database in onCreate() using SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(this); //first init the db libraries with the context"

1. I am calling this loadlibs only once in my first activity (seems to be working). I want to make sure I do not need to call this function for every activity that might access the database. Is this correct?

2. How do I change the database password? I tried rekey but that does not work. It still takes the old password.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

SQLiteDatabase.rawExecSQL("PRAGMA key = 'old_password';");
SQLiteDatabase.rawExecSQL("PRAGMA rekey = 'new_password';");
