This library works with both B4A and B4J.
Yes yes yes there are other ways to do this, this is how I do it. I have lots of small libraries that I use for myself, so I thought that I would share this one with the community.
Hello fellow B4X'ers,
I've decided to release this simple to use AES library, I created it some time ago for AES Encryption and Decryption of strings. I've been using this library in multiple B4X projects for quite some time now and I've never come across any issues with it. I decided to removed some methods that you don't need, so here it is.
How to use this library:
Just download the attached zip file and unzip the 2 files into your additional libraries folder.

I use this library to encrypt data into and decrypt data out of my clients MySQL or MSSQL databases. For many years I've been developing bespoke Windows business software for clients using VB.Net and C#, I've always encrypted important data using AES encryption, after all some encryption is better than no encryption.
Enjoy...
