Re: [android-developers] Android Encryption api

I am doing Phonebook contacts encryption and i think it will be done
by using "Encrypt Phone" feature of android 4.0, but at the same time
i want to encrypt all the files which are stored on the SD card.
can you please explain about how i proceed in this direction?

Thanks....
