This is the easiest solution ever existed for normal encryption. First, add this in your build gradle file:

    implementation 'com.scottyab:aescrypt:0.0.1'

Then use the bellow code for encryption and decryption:

// To Encrypt
String password = "password";
String message = "hello world";	
try {
    String encryptedMsg = AESCrypt.encrypt(password, message);
}catch (GeneralSecurityException e){
    //handle error
}

// To Decrypt
String password = "password";
String encryptedMsg = "2B22cS3UC5s35WBihLBo8w==";
try {
    String messageAfterDecrypt = AESCrypt.decrypt(password, encryptedMsg);
}catch (GeneralSecurityException e){
     //handle error - could be due to incorrect password or tampered encryptedMsg
}
