I am using SQLCipher as db in my project.My app is running successfully in phones with OS lollipop and above. but having issues from OS 4.4.4 and below. I am using SQLCipher jar files (not the latest one).on application start, I am getting the following error:

      SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(getContext());

      if (preferences.contains(Constants.OLD_USER_PIN_SET)) {
        if (preferences.contains(Constants.REKEY) && preferences.getBoolean(Constants.REKEY,
            true)) {

      if (password != null) db = mOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase(password);
    } catch (SQLiteException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return db != null;
  }

error is occurring at this position in the code

SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(getContext());

I have done enough research but couldn't solve the issue. please help me.thanks.

In my case it wasn't practical to remove multidex, but found a solution using gradle's multiDexKeepFile property. This nudges the specified classes to be inluded in the first dex when you're breaching the 64K method limit.

In app/build.gradle, point to a multiDexKeepFile:

// Enabling multidex support. 
multiDexEnabled true 
multiDexKeepFile file('multidex.keep')

And in the keep file, specify the classes you need to be included in the first dex, in my case my content provider and sqlcipher's SQLiteDatabase: 

com/myapp/android/database/provider/MyContentProvider.class
net/sqlcipher/database/SQLiteDatabase.class

This stopped the crashing from happening on both a physical S3 mini and a Nexus 4 virtual device (both api 16, both crashed before the fix).

It sounds as if the native libraries may not be included within your build. The easiest solution maybe for you to just use the AAR distribution we make available:

compile 'net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:3.4.0@aar'

Finally, after lots of research, I got the solution for my problem. The problem started when I added 

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

for maps in my project. which wasnt necessary. when I added this I got an error saying method count exceeded 64K limit. so I added 

`multiDexEnabled true`

in my app/build.gradle still got some more errors. when I searched I had to add 

 dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
  }

into app/build.gradle. and there was no more error in phones with lollipop and above OS. but for others I am getting the above problem.

so I fixed it by changing

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

to

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.4.0'

so the methods didnt exceeded 64K limit. and the problem got solved. thanks everyone for your time.
