    Hello,

    My application packages a pre-existing SQLite file as a resource, which it stores at //sdcard/databases/[appName]/db.sql.

    My problem is when users have their devices set to encrypt the Media Card, I can put the file on the card but my app cannot access it or decrypt it, and therefore I'm unable to use it.

    Is there a way I have my app decrypt the .sql file, or prevent it from encrypting on the card in the first place? This seems like it could be a common use case.

    I've found a funky work around by renaming the .sql to .mp3, but again this will only work if the user has Media Files encryption set to "Disabled." This is non-ideal, obviously.

    You would need to let the customer know that it's not compatiable with Media card encryption.
