What about Android 4.0 support? #34

Vitaly-Olshevsky · 2011-12-07T10:54:06Z

It seems that the latest release (0.0.6-FINAL) doesn't work properly on Android 4.0 (at least on emulator).

I've tested the library on notepadbot application, as well as on this sample activity:

public class HelloSQLCipherActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        InitializeSQLCipher();
    }

    private void InitializeSQLCipher() {
        SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(this);
        File databaseFile = getDatabasePath("demo.db");
        databaseFile.mkdirs();
        databaseFile.delete();
        SQLiteDatabase database = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(databaseFile, "test123", null);
        database.execSQL("create table t1(a, b)");
        database.execSQL("insert into t1(a, b) values(?, ?)", new Object[]{"one for the money",
                                                                        "two for the show"});
    }
}

And i'm always getting the next exception during the database creation:

12-07 13:02:44.364: E/AndroidRuntime(682): Caused by: info.guardianproject.database.sqlcipher.SQLiteException: not an error

12-07 13:02:44.364: E/AndroidRuntime(682):  ... 11 more

On all version below 3.2 everything works fine.

Does SQLCipher for android currently supports version 4.0? Have it been tested yet? Is there some workaround?
(Or maybe i'm just doing something wrong?)

Hello,

We had not tested SQLCipher for Android on 4.0 at the time of the release. We will look into the issue you are seeing on 4.0. Thanks!

I experienced a similar issue on a "real" Galaxy Nexus phone with Android 4.0. The app works find on 2.2 and 2.3. I was calling getReadableDatabase().

Hello Vitaly-Olshevsky,

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

inuwan · 2012-01-04T21:35:47Z

I used the sqlcipher.jar that was present in the dist folder of the downloaded zip and I still got an exception on android 4.0 opening a readable database.

    java.lang.NullPointerException
    at info.guardianproject.database.sqlcipher.SQLiteQueryBuilder.query(SQLiteQueryBuilder.java:329)
    at info.guardianproject.database.sqlcipher.SQLiteQueryBuilder.query(SQLiteQueryBuilder.java:279)

The date on the jar is 11/29, are those out of date and I have to create the jars myself?

I also build from source 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.

Vitaly-Olshevsky · 2012-01-19T15:03:58Z

Hi,

I've tested improvements for the SQLCipher from the specified repository and it seems to works perfectly on Android 4.0.

Thanks for the fix.

developernotes · 2012-01-19T15:12:46Z

Hi Vitaly-Olshevsky,

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear it is working well for you!
