How to protect data in SQLite database?

I want to make an sqlite driven database app on Android devices where should I place (securely) a 17+ Mb file so it is accessed only by the app and not by users?

  • I am trying to develop a (phone) hierarchical drilldown paid app (database book). The database is essential for the app, and is downloaded from the net. But I want it to be secure, because for example if I put the data to sdcard they might be accessible to everyone with an sdcard reader. What are my options here? I can estimate that the app might go someday (in the next 2 years) over 20/40mb or if I develop a tablet version I might add other features inside the database (bloating it more).

  • Answer:

    Hi You may want to encrypt the database, thats your best bet. Even , if the database is within the /data folder of the application , it can be accessed on rooted phones.
