    Bear in mind that this will be pointless. Rooted users will be able to get your encryption key out of your app and use that to decrypt whatever you have encrypted. Commented Jul 8, 2012 at 13:40

  • I truly believe that the rooted users can change your database regardless of the encryption. They can get the key to decrypt the db. I'm researching on it as well. Have you found any solutions? Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 3:47

Take a look to the SQLCipher project. It is an open source library that provides transparent, secure 256-bit AES encryption of SQLite database files.

The web site offers a tutorial for Android.

SQLCipher + user's password could be the right implementation. We need user's password to encrypt the db rather than using the hard-coded strings.
