Hello @Javier_Comas
Are you able to recreate the issue with the SQLCipher for Android test suite?
Hello @Javier_Comas
Were you able to reproduce the issue when running the test suite? Are you a commercial license holder, or are you using the community edition of the library?
Hi,
I have an existing Android App with encrypted DB (encrypted using SQL cipher 2.2.0)
Recently we updated the cipher lib to 3.3.1-2 ( compile ‘net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:3.3.1-2@aar’)
App works fine on new installation. Problem occurs on devices where i am trying to use existing set up (i mean access existing Db)
Following is my code.
SQLiteDatabaseHook hook=new SQLiteDatabaseHook() {
public void preKey( SQLiteDatabase database){
database.rawExecSQL("PRAGMA cipher_default_use_hmac=off;");
}
public void postKey( SQLiteDatabase database){ }
};
try {
SQLiteDatabase source=SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(databaseToMigrate,password,null,hook);} catch(Exception e) { }
********DB was created using this line *************
db = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(vDbPath, mdbEKey, null);
It gives following error:
11-17 14:02:24.067 2247-2247/org.bz.mws.Screens I/Database: sqlite returned: error code = 26, msg = file is encrypted or is not a database
11-17 14:02:24.067 2247-2247/org.bz.mws.Screens E/Database: CREATE TABLE android_metadata failed
11-17 14:02:24.069 2247-2247/org.bz.mws.Screens E/Database: Failed to setLocale() when constructing, closing the database
11-17 14:02:24.069 2247-2247/org.bz.mws.Screens E/Database: net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteException: file is encrypted or is not a database: create locale table failed
I am stuck in this for quiete a few days. please help to resolve this. Tried out different options in PreKey but nothing helped.
Thanks in advance.
Hi @ManojBZ
Were you previously disabling the per page HMAC when you used SQLCipher 2.2.0? If not, you should not need the PRAGMA cipher_default_use_hmac=off; command. You will need to migrate the existing database files to the 3.x format, you can do this with the PRAGMA cipher_migrate; command.
Hi @developernotes,
Thanks!! My App is working now. But i have a bit concern. The App has considerably slowed down.
I am running App on Moto E2 with android version 5.0.2.
Prior to upgrade i.e. using sqlcipher 2.2, same App had nice speed on this very device.
Please suggest how can optimize the speed.
Hello @ManojBZ
With regard to the impact SQLCipher may have on your application, we have a post covering the details of performance here. Would you review that and see if it may apply to your application? Thanks!
A post was split to a new topic: Native runtime crash from SQLCipher for Android
your test suite working proper on my tablet but in my project when calling SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(context); give error
