Hi, i am new to android and planning to use Triple-DES encryption to encrypt data and store it into the DataBase in my android application. the thing is if i try to use DES or Triple DES its giving Hexadecimal encrypted string. But i need some encrypted value which looks like my previous value. i have 3 kinds of variables to encrypt. those are String,numeric and Date type variables. My requirement is if i encrypt a date type, i need to get the cipher text looks like date. So can any one suggest with an example to impliment and encryption technique.
