SQlitecipher and SQlite on android

[sabdullah-zz]

I have a question about SQliteCipher being based on Sqlite, does it tend to create a new db which is compatible with Sqlite API and db.
I understand Sqlitecipher is forked off, how do we know its fully compliant with Sqlite in Android 2.x and 3.X

thanks!

Yes, SQLCipher is a fork of SQLite that adds the encryption. It
generates normal SQLite databases, it is adding the encryption that
makes it no longer work with SQLite.

If you are talking about the android.database.* API then yes it is almost nearly compatible with that. The only thing we have removed is the Phone Number/Contact support, which is not core to its use as a standard SQLite database.

I think this issue is closed.

Please test out our latest developer build:
