I'm wondering if there a way to add an alternative LibraryLoader for SQLCipher.
Some devices as Huawei Enjoy 9s (Android 5.1 rooted) and Nexus 4 (Android 6.0.1 not rooted) produce the next crash:
Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.application-1/base.apk"], nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.application.app-1/lib/arm, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]] couldn't find "libsqlcipher.so"
If it's possible, how do I find the appropriate library name to load and where to perform the action?
Here is the code from the SQLiteDatabase:
/**
* Loads the native SQLCipher library into the application process.
*/
public static synchronized void loadLibs (Context context, File workingDir, LibraryLoader libraryLoader) {
libraryLoader.loadLibraries("sqlcipher");
// System.loadLibrary("stlport_shared");
// System.loadLibrary("sqlcipher_android");
// System.loadLibrary("database_sqlcipher");
// boolean systemICUFileExists = new File("/system/usr/icu/icudt46l.dat").exists();
// String icuRootPath = systemICUFileExists ? "/system/usr" : workingDir.getAbsolutePath();
// setICURoot(icuRootPath);
// if(!systemICUFileExists){
// loadICUData(context, workingDir);
// }
}
This is how I am creating the DB instance:
import net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteDatabase
import net.sqlcipher.database.SupportFactory
...
val passphrase: ByteArray = SQLiteDatabase.getBytes((BuildConfig.ROOM_PASSPHRASE + session.getRoomUUID()).toCharArray())
val factory = SupportFactory(passphrase)
val instance = Room.databaseBuilder(context.applicationContext, MyDatabase::class.java, "MyDatabase")
.openHelperFactory(factory)
.fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
.build()
...
It was not obvious but I found a problem. The SupportFactory instance must be used only once per opening a database. So, reset the Dagger component that holds the database instance on the Login screen fixed the issue.
No need to loadLibraries manually, just reset the DI component in the right place.
