Android Question Mostly solved:Encryption Initialization Creation

My problem is that my project will no longer compile now that I have attempted to use SQLCipher invented by Zetetic.net.

On a tutorial by Erel,(https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ryption-with-sqlcipher-library.14965/#content), Erel tells me to use the following line to initialize the SQLCipher method.

SQL1.Initialize(File.DirRootExternal, "1.db", True, DB_PASSWORD, ""):

Unfortunately, the IDE slips me the note; Undeclared variable 'SQL1' is used before it was assigned any value.

In actuality I don't have a variable SQL1 anyway, so how shall I change the wording to make it work for my project. I'll attach a screenshot of when the compilation goes haywire.... Whoops, the image was too large. Here's the wetransfer.com link:

Of course my project is an SQLite one. It has 712 records
 
Solution
Your Additional Libraries path is this (see red border)

but you put android-database-sqlcipher-4.5.4.aar into project folder not Additional folder

You should put the android-database-sqlcipher-4.5.4.aar into folder C:\Users\HP\Desktop\Projects\Additional Libraries\B4A

I took a big chance and exited the IDE; just brought it up again; didn't help

Yes file seems to be ok in Addnl folder although I had to rename it
It had a (3) in the name which I removed so IDE could identify it

Lastly I've looked all through my project and the only squiggly line in in my Main module

B4X:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

I suppose it not important

But my additional libraries is in my projects folder. Do you think I should change the folder location and then change the path configuration?

No, just show the folder, see if the android-database-sqlcipher-4.5.4.aar is existed

Can I have the folder in both locations and then change the configuration?
OK I did it

I just put the configuration back as it was.

You don't need to change the configuration, all you need to do is put android-database-sqlcipher-4.5.4.aar into Additional Libraries folder

layout file mainpage.bal is not used. Are you missing a call to Activity.LoadLayout? (warning #16)

That's the squiggly line hovered message.

Any chance my old dbbrowser download needs more than just the .aar file to function properly? I used your .aar file but maybe it's not compatible. My dbBrowser file was downloaded in 2022; seems suspect to me.
