How we can encrypt key as well?

[Bajranghudda1]

You people are doing really great 👍
I was trying to put my secret using your library but I'm facing below problem-

         // Save preference
        KeystoreManager.getInstance().setPreference("key", "hello");

        // Get preference
        String preference = KeystoreManager.getInstance().getPreference("key");

the method setPreference() will save my key & value in encrypted format but the method getPreference() will convert the key first into in encrypted format and then will search in shared pref and it will not find any entry because Key's encryption is deferent.

Is there any help to solve this?

Hi @Bajranghudda1 , Are you sure that the key is the same that you used when save the preference?

[Bajranghudda1]

@navasmdc key is not same because your code logic always create a different encryption text -

setPreference("myKey", "myValue");

public void setPreference(String key, String value){
try {
value = encryptText(value);
key = encryptText(key);

Note in above case key will be encrypted first time and saved in pref; okay.

getPreference("myKey")

public String getPreference(String key){
try {
key = encryptText(key);

Note - Now again my clear text will be encrypted and will generate a different encrypted text, and it won't match any entry in pref.
