Hello @forever

I am looking into the issue, however at this time the Android 21 Intel x86 Atom_64 system image fails to launch for me. We will provide additional feedback as we work through this. Thanks

Hello @forever and @vinay_kumar,

I just verified the SQLCipher for Android test suite runs successfully using the Android platform 21 Intel Atom x86_64 emulator, which now includes a test for opening a database using the SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY flag. Could you please try running the suite yourself? Thanks!

@chetan1011 that is a different problem, discussed at https://github.com/sqlcipher/android-database-sqlcipher/issues/139 and Roots of the problem - SQLiteException: not an error.

FYI the same problem (crash with net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteException: attempt to write a readonly database) is also reported in https://github.com/sqlcipher/android-database-sqlcipher/issues/161.

According to the documentation in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html, and in the Javadoc as well, it is possible for SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase() to throw a SQLiteException if it cannot open the database any reason. Please add the code to catch and handle the exception in your application code.
