Android Question SQLite & SQLCipher Error Trapping

Hello, hope you are all fine.
Today my question to the professionals is concerning the use of SQL or SQLCIPHER Library.
If we do any sql action via the library like an insert a.s.o. it might be possible to fall into an error situation because for example we are going to insert a record with a column value in a unique column that already is stored in the table.

If there is an error on SQLite Database level SQLite reports ErrorCodes but how to get them?
What is the best way (some code examples are requested) to trapp such sql errors, for example to show the user an understandable error message?

Thank you in Advance
best regards
Guenter

Found it too, the open question is how to set up an sqlite error listener and how to code the error callback in B4A.
Any Idea?
Best regards Guenter
I use this. You will need to alter according to your needs.

Nope this was just an example there might be a couple of other errors possible. The question is not how to avoid errors the question is how to capture the error codes. Like in VB.Net there is a special SQL-Error Message.
Best regards Guenter
Who not to use Try Catch capturing LastException? it includes SQL-Error Message.

Ok SIrs,
thank you for your comments. Sepcial thank you for RB Smissaert, good work. My work in progress is simmilar to yours. I think at present we only can use try/catch and than to examine the LastException Message. I placed a Whish-Post to get the SQl Error as a special Error message maybe similar to LastException like LastSQLException. The Handling should be included in an update of the SQL/SQLCIPHER library. I think this is important for use to avoid parsing LastException because this solution is very cumbersome.
Best Regards Guenter
