(Android™) Workaround for the deprecated EncryptString and DecryptString methods

Shows how to replace the deprecated EncryptString and DecryptString methods. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    // The EncryptString and DecryptString methods are deprecated:

    CkByteData encryptedBytes = new CkByteData();

    String decryptedStr = crypt.decryptString(encryptedBytes);

    CkBinData bd = new CkBinData();
    bd.AppendString(plainText,"utf-8");

    // in-place encrypt
    crypt.EncryptBd(bd);

    // in-place decrypt
    crypt.DecryptBd(bd);
    decryptedStr = bd.getString("utf-8");
    Log.i(TAG, "Decrypted: " + decryptedStr);

      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
