Running on a Galaxy Nexus phone with Android 4.0. (Works find on 2.2 and 2.3.) The following exception is raised when calling getReadableDatabase().

Hello inuwan,

We are looking into a fix for Android 4.0. Thanks.

[developernotes]

Hello inuwan,

We have put together a branch that includes our work to support Android 4.0, would you be willing to try it out? If so, you can find the repository below:

https://github.com/developernotes/android-database-sqlcipher/tree/icu46

Tried it and got the following exception calling getReadableDatabase():

Hello inuwan,

Can you verify you were building the source from the icu46 branch? Also, you will need to package the new icudt46l.zip file located in the assets directory into your applications assets directory instead of the old icudt44l.zip as the localization library needed to be upgraded for Android 4.0. You should be able to get the binaries out of the libs directory once the build is complete.

Not having any luck. I download the zip, did a build using IntelliJ - the puts the output in out\production\Developernotes-android-database-sqlcipher-88ab69c\classes.jar - renamed that sqlcipher.jar. Coped the icudt46L.zip file to my assets folder (previously I was not using icudt44l.zip).

It may be easier if you just send me the sqlcipher.jar file in case I'm not building it correctly

Hi inuwan,

I can send you the files in a zip, what email address can I use to send them? I do not see one listed in your GitHub profile.

[dorotn]

hi developernotes,

I have the same problem as inuwan... can you send also to me the sqlcipher.jar?
Thanks

Also, I previously was not using icudt44l.zip. Do I need to add the icudt46L.zip? What is it for?

Hello inuwan and dorotn,

I have updated a copy of the binaries built from the icu46 branch, this includes a README with some installation instructions. The icudt46l.zip contains a compressed dat file for localization data required by ICU. More information can be found on integrating SQLCipher for Android and ICU here. Also, just to verify, are you calling the SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase? Are you also calling SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs before you attempt to get a reference to the SQLiteDatabase?

[inuwan]

Getting the same exception when I call getReadableDatabase using the icu46.zip.

I call loadLibs before getting a reference to the database. I do not call SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase, I simply create a new instance of a SQLiteOpenHelper subclass that overrides onCreate, etc.
SQLiteOpenHelper I believe calls openOrCreateDatabase.

Nix that - looks like its working. Thanks (I first only updated sqlcipher.jar, but worked after I update all the other libs in the zip

[developernotes]

Hi inuwan,

Glad to hear you got everything working!

[superfell]

I tested this build with our app on a number of devices and didn't see any problems (we were seeing the same problem as above on 4.0 with the previous builds)
Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.2
Galaxy Tab running 3.1
Galaxy S2 running 2.3.6
Galaxy S running 2.2

[Apparently i'm keeping samsung in business]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for doing some testing of the new branch - that's great feedback!
