android - Implementing conn.setPassword -

we developing multiple platform mobile application using xamarin. want protect database (sqlite) @ least password gain access it.

we're not concerned our windows phone platform storage protected application has access it, android platform can lifted device , we'll developing iphone version soon.

we use xamarin integrates .net , allows share business logic across platforms requires ui written separately each platform.

as of present, september 2014, best way password protect database.

update:

currently xamarin points using 1 of these 2 methods:

http://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/ios/data/sqlite/

we use sqlite.net, far can tell, neither allow me user method:

conn.setpassword() 

is limitation in android version of sqlite or access layer not exposing functionality?

update 2: seems ado.net version allow set password functionality.

you can use sqlite encryption extension or sqlcipher here , here respectively encrypting sqlite database android. also, @ answer.

please note sqlite database can lifted device if device has been rooted.

the best approach securing data store remotely on server , communicating via secure connection.
