hey what is file name in this following code snippet
val sharedPreferences = EncryptedSharedPreferences
.create(
fileName,
masterKeyAlias,
context,
EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefKeyEncryptionScheme.AES256_SIV,
EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefValueEncryptionScheme.AES256_GCM
)

val sharedPrefsEditor = sharedPreferences.edit()

[Akbar]

as I want the secured shared preference file to store my values

[Akbar]

?

[hetang]

filname is secured file to store preferences

[hetang]

look at this example: https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/security/crypto/EncryptedSharedPreferences.html#create(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20android.content.Context,%20androidx.security.crypto.EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefKeyEncryptionScheme,%20androidx.security.crypto.EncryptedSharedPreferences.PrefValueEncryptionScheme)

[Akbar]

thanks @hetang

[Akbar]

but minSdkVersion for this is 23

[Akbar]

it wont work in below sdk devices

[hetang]

at-least you can secure devices above 23

[Akbar]

yeah , thats cool

[Akbar]

we can use the AEX encryption in <23 devices right?
