Answer 1

i know this has been answered but i found a Hashing Library at android arsenal and its very easy,simple and just one line of code. can hash MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512.

1. first add this to your gradle and sync

   implementation 'com.github.1AboveAll:Hasher:1.2'

2. start hasing

   Hasher.Companion.hash("Hello",HashType.SHA_1);
