Security of SQLite databases in Android

Question

I'm planning to use SQLite in my android app. But problem is, SQLite doesn't support Encryption officially without a license of SQLite Encryption Extention. So I just kept searching without any hope, and found something interesting. This link explains how to use SQLite encryption with AES 256 on the BlackBerry devices. And I could also get the information of how to use SQLite encryption in C# here.

1. Google android OS or other phone manufacturers support the function like BlackBerry as well?

2. Can I use SetPassword() method of SQLiteConnection class in C# without any plugin?

(I'm also developing an app in Unity5, so if the answer of No.2 is yes, it'll be very helpful. So I tried but only to fail)

On Android, we generally use [SQLCipher for Android](https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/sqlcipher-for-android), though I have no idea if somebody has created C# bindings for it. — CommonsWare, Sep 11 '15 at 14:59
@CommonsWare I've heard of it. Is it free? Anybody knows if I can use it in C# too? — Jenix, Sep 11 '15 at 15:01
The only problem is it's fairly old, the bindings haven't been updated in years. — Karakuri, Sep 11 '15 at 23:16
