Answer 1

i created a database with sqlcipher V3.5.7 and then changed the sqlcipher version to V4.1.3 and had this problem
in build.gradle i changed
implementation "net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:4.1.3#aar"
to
implementation 'net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:3.5.7#aar'
and the problem solved

Answer 2

You are referencing the password string value of 123456Sa, however your call within createDataBase uses the value of 123 as a password to getWritableDatabase.

Answer 3

I was getting this exception only in obfuscation case.
I added default constructors for both ByteArraySerializer and ByteArrayDeserializer classes.
Note: don't add above classes as inner classes. Declare these classes independently add keep these classes in proguard-rules.
