+### Compatibility
+
+SQLCipher for Android runs on Android 4–Android 9, for `armeabi`, `armeabi-v7a`, `x86`, `x86_64`, and `arm64_v8a` architectures.
+    
+### Contributions
+
+We welcome contributions, to contribute to SQLCipher for Android, a [contributor agreement](https://www.zetetic.net/contributions/) needs to be submitted. All submissions should be based on the `master` branch.
+
+### An Illustrative Terminal Listing
+
+A typical SQLite database in unencrypted, and visually parseable even as encoded text. The following example shows the difference between hexdumps of a standard SQLite database and one implementing SQLCipher.
+
+```
+~ sjlombardo$ hexdump -C sqlite.db
+00000000 53 51 4c 69 74 65 20 66 6f 72 6d 61 74 20 33 00 |SQLite format 3.|

+
+### Application Integration
+
+We’ve packaged up a very simple SDK for any Android developer to add SQLCipher into their app with the following three steps:
+
+1. Add a [reference](https://search.maven.org/search?q=a:android-database-sqlcipher) to the AAR package: `implementation 'net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:Current.Version.Here@aar'`
+2. Update the package import path from `android.database.sqlite.*` to `net.sqlcipher.database.*` in any source files that reference it. The original `android.database.Cursor` may still be used unchanged.
+3. Initialize the database library and pass a variable argument to the open database method with a password:
+
+```
+// First initilize the native database libraries with the context
+SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(this);
+
+// Request a database connection with passwrod
+SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(databasePath.getAbsolutePath(), password, null);
+```
+
+An article covering both integration of SQLCipher into an Android application as well as building the source can be found [here](https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/sqlcipher-for-android/).
+
+### Building
+
+In order to build `android-database-sqlcipher` from source you will need both the Android SDK, Gradle, and the Android NDK. We currently recommend using Android NDK version `r15c`, however we plan to update to a newer NDK release when possible. To complete the `make` command, the `ANDROID_NDK_ROOT` environment variable must be defined which should point to your NDK root. Once you have cloned the repo, change directory into the root of the repository and run the following commands:
+
+```
+# this only needs to be done once
+make init
+
+# to build the source for debug:
+make build-debug
+# or for a release build:
+make build-release
+```
+
+### License
+
+The Android support libraries are licensed under Apache 2.0, in line with the Android OS code on which they are based. The SQLCipher code itself is licensed under a BSD-style license from Zetetic LLC. Finally, the original SQLite code itself is in the public domain.
