Is it possible to encrypt the whole database in android?

Question

Is it possible to encrypt the whole database? I'm currently using AES 256 ECB encryption for field level encryption. I need to know if there is any good option for encrypting the whole database.

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

SQLCipher is an SQLite extension that provides transparent 256-bit AES encryption of database files.

The problem is that there isn't any easy way to integrate it with any ORM. – Mike Argyriou Sep 10 '15 at 11:12

It turns out that this is the same project as https://guardianproject.info/code/sqlcipher, Guardian Project took Zetetic's SQLCipher and made SQLCipher for Android. Zetetic now maintains both. – Hans-Christoph Steiner Nov 06 '15 at 15:46
