Hi Zetetic

What is your plan to support Room 3.0 and are you aware of the deprecations in 3.0 of SupportSQLiteOpenHelper?

I know this is the first Alpha release, but it would be great to get confirmation, that you guys are looking into it and are planning on supporting Room 3.0.

Thank you

> To add a dependency on Room3, you must add the Google Maven repository to your project. Read Google's Maven repository for more information.

Hi @Kenneth_Pedersen,

Thank you for reaching out regarding SQLCipher. We plan to continue to support Room integration in the future, however, we would prefer to wait for the Room 3.0 API to stabilize before an integration for `sqlcipher-android` is shipped. We will continue to keep an eye on this as the Room API evolves.

Thank you,
