Does SQLCipher supports Android Lollipop? As you can see in this link that it says SQLCipher for Android runs from 2.1 to 4.4. There is no mention of support of Android Lollipop (5.0).

Yes, SQLCipher for Android works on Android 5.x. I will alert Zetitec about their out-of-date info there.

  • I'm actually unable to integrate SQL cipher with 5.0 devices. SQLCipher requires ARM assemlies to be placed in libs folder, which is not supported on Lollipop and above : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27325140/dalvik-system-pathclassloader-cant-find-jni-on-intel-devices – AlexVPerl Jan 12 '16 at 19:50
  • @AlexVPerl: I haven't had a problem using the SQLCipher AAR on Android 5.0+. For example, [this sample app](https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/Database/ConstantsSecure-AndroidStudio) ran just fine on a Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 when I tried it seconds before posting this comment. – CommonsWare Jan 12 '16 at 20:06
  • Thank you. Good to know that it works. Need to review what's wrong w my setup then. Will post my results. – AlexVPerl Jan 12 '16 at 20:07
  • It ended up being my build config - all is well on Lollipop. Thanks! – AlexVPerl Jan 13 '16 at 02:28

Apart from Android 2.1 - 6.0 support, you can also integrate SQLCipher as a Gradle dependency. Unfortunately, Zetetic's website still has an Eclipse-jar way described, which is kind of deprecated.
