Specify Key Directly

[franziskuskiefer]

SQLCipher allows to specify the used key directly (not using a password).
From SQLCipher:

The hexrekey pragma may be used to rekey to a specific binary value

PRAGMA rekey = "x'2DD29CA851E7B56E4697B0E1F08507293D761A05CE4D1B628663F411A8086D99'";

This can be accomplished programtically by using sqlite3_rekey;

sqlite3_rekey(sqlite3 *db, const void *pKey, int nKey)

Am I missing something or is this not possible with the Android SQLite API?

Hi franziskuskiefer,

The interface within SQLCipher for Android to execute the PRAGMA rekey command is via the rawExecSQL call on the SQLiteDatabase instance. Here is an example of the usage from our test suite.

Oh, missed that. Thx :)

No problem!
