Description
I got "initializeSecrets failed: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException : SecretKeyFactory PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 implementation not found"
when using notecipher in android 2.2. I'm guessing the algorithm isn't supported in that android version. I also tested on android 2.3.3 and it works there fine. So i propose either changing the minimumSDK in cacheword to 9 (2.3.3) or choosing a different algorithm in versions < 2.3.3
Kind regards,
uberspot
p.s. error message is printed in initializeSecrets(Context ctx, char[] x_passphrase) in PassphraseSecrets.java

drop min sdk to Android 2.2 now that we bundle SpongyCastle

We'd like to support as old releases as possible, but that won't be possible if its a lot of work. I'll let Abel make that call.
(FYI, 2.3.3 is actually android-10, 2.3 is android-9.)

Hm, I might be able to sidestep this in older Androids if I bundle the latest SpongyCastle library (read: BouncyCastle) with CacheWord.

just to confirm, android-9 is the minimum needed to do this without spongycastle:
