    <p>I'm having a little problem. In my app I need to create a key for AES encryption from String written by a user, and I have no idea how to do it. For example: user writes: "abscde" and I need to some how change it to an AES key. Here is my code. It works but only with key provided in hex, like "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F".</p> <pre><code> public static String encrypt(String text, String key){ String mess="error"; try{ byte[] encodedText=text.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")); byte[] keyData=hexStringToByte(key); SecretKeySpec sKey=new SecretKeySpec(keyData, "AES"); Cipher encryptionCypher=Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding"); final int blocks=encryptionCypher.getBlockSize(); final byte[] ivData=new byte[blocks]; final SecureRandom rnd=new SecureRandom(); rnd.nextBytes(ivData); final IvParameterSpec iv=new IvParameterSpec(ivData); encryptionCypher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, sKey,iv); final byte[] encryptedMessage=encryptionCypher.doFinal(encodedText); final byte[] ivAndMessage=new byte[ivData.length+encryptedMessage.length]; System.arraycopy(ivData, 0, ivAndMessage, 0, blocks); System.arraycopy(encryptedMessage, 0, ivAndMessage, blocks, encryptedMessage.length); final String finalMessage=Base64.encodeToString(ivAndMessage, 0); mess=finalMessage; } catch (IllegalBlockSizeException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (BadPaddingException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (InvalidKeyException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (InvalidAlgorithmParameterException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (NoSuchPaddingException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } return mess; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
