#Quick and sexy String encrypt / decrypt for Android

Sometimes you find yourself wanted to use SharedPrefs to hold something precious? Want to prevent those pesky rooted hackz0rs from looking in your SharedPreds? Here is a quick and sexy no-external-libs-required solution.

Notes;

• I have declared everything static so you can create your own utility class and throw the following straight in.

• 3rd party imports are not required. Use import android.util.Base64; for Base64, and import javax.crypto.*; for Cipher.

Notes on using proxy env vars with Docker or Dockerfile

Running the daemon behind a proxy:

sudo env https_proxy=http://proxy:8080 docker daemon

Building

sudo docker build --build-arg HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy -t some/imagename .

A Java String doesn't have an encoding but it can easily be forced into UTF-16 on conversions. ALWAYS specify UTF-8 when creating a new StringEntity from String!

Add payload to HttpPut
HttpPut hp = (HttpPut) this.request;
hp.setEntity(new StringEntity(yourStringPayload, "UTF-8"));
hp.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
// ... then execute

Scenario

Working on a feature branch, let's say "feature/local-notification". Once finished, one commits all the files and sends the PR to let's say "develop" on a remote repositiory used by your team.

When a reviewer comes to check the PR they announce they are unable to comment on diffs or view all the diffs on Github as Github's diff limit was reached.

You are asked to (kindly) split the commit...

Below I will outline the (what I think is the best and most flexible) method of doing this (there are perhaps other ways depending on your situation).
