Java – set password in sqlcipher

I want to create a new encrypted database with sqlcipher. Because of the following link, I don't really explain how to set the key: http://sqlcipher.net/sqlcipher-api/#key

As explained in the documentation, I have to set the key using pragma, but where do I start?

Solution

For Android, you only need to call openorcreatedatabase to provide the encryption key The second parameter is the password that will be used

sqliteDatabase database = sqliteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(databaseFile,"test123",null);

The pragma key interface provides the same functionality when using the command line version of sqlcipher
