i'm looking very hard for a possibility to encrypt my sqlite database on Android devices, but I was't able to find a satisfying solution.
I need something like a libary to reference, in order to have a "on the fly" encryption/decryption of my database, while using the normal sqlite functions.
I don't want to encrypt data before storing.
I don't want to encrypt the whole databasefile, in order to decrypt it before using.
I know about the following projects:
But I can't find any working example for this stuff.
Btw, I'm absolutly willing to purchase a commercial build, but I have to test ist before spending a few hundred dollars.
Did anyone solve this issue for his own?

SQLite doesn't support encrypting database files by default. Instead, you need to use a modified version of SQLite like SEE, SQLCipher, SQLiteCrypt, or wxSQLite3.
The simple answer is NO. Its not thread safe - that's it.
Android SQLite is a very lightweight database which comes with Android OS. Android SQLite combines a clean SQL interface with a very small memory footprint and decent speed. For Android, SQLite is “baked into” the Android runtime, so every Android application can create its own SQLite databases.
SQLite has hooks built-in for encryption which are not used in the normal distribution, but here are a few implementations I know of: SEE - The official implementation. wxSQLite - A wxWidgets style C++ wrapper that also implements SQLite's encryption. SQLCipher - Uses openSSL's libcrypto to implement.
Try the SQLCipher port to Android instead of the regular SQLCipher.
