I am trying to establish connection with existing encrypted SQLCipher DB but stuck with “error code 14: Could not open database”, even failed to created connection with new using “SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(“demo.db”, Test123”, null);"  
I think problem exist due to incorrect DB path  
Can Anyone please share demo code to connect already encrypted database

Thanks
