Encrypt Preloaded Database. Is this possible?

[thomasgatt]

I am using a preloaded database (stored in the assets folder) of my android project.

I want to encrypt the already defined database. Is this possible please?

Thanks for your time.

Hi thomasgatt,

I'm sorry for the delayed response to your question. Yes, you can embed an existing encrypted SQLCipher database within the assets directory. You could use the SQLCipher command line client to create it locally, more information on building this can be found here.
