I tried to follo

Answer 1

In this situation how should I use SQLCipher?

Exactly like an normal your normal sql implementation.

Where should I define the password?

If you are using SQLiteHelper it will create the database when you first get it like this:

helper.getWriteableDatabase("myPassword");

On the first call it will create the database with this Password. On the upcoing calls it will only work with this password.

( Figured that out when i went to the Source: https://github.com/sqlcipher/android-database-sqlcipher/blob/master/android-database-sqlcipher/src/main/java/net/sqlcipher/database/SQLiteOpenHelper.java, checkout the method getWriteableDatabase( String pw ) there! )

Where should I use loadLibs(context)?

Right before you call helper.getWriteableDatabase("myPassword"); the first time!
