I am working on a test application where I have multiple databases but I need to encrypt only few. I am getting conflict in import of `net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteDatabase` instead of `android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase`

How can I still continue to use sqlite database (which do no need encryption).

Hi @Doli

You can use SQLCipher for Android to operate on both plaintext SQLite and SQLCipher-encrypted database files, the difference being whether you provide a password when creating the `SQLiteDatabase` connection instance.
