Image encryption/decryption using AES256 symmetric block ciphers

Is there any good example of how to encrypt and decrypt image and other files with AES on Android?

Warning: This answer contains code you should not use as it is insecure (using SHA1PRNG for key derivation and using AES in ECB mode)

Instead (as of 2016), use PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 for key derivation and AES in CBC or GCM mode (GCM provides both privacy and integrity)

You could use functions like these:

private static byte[] encrypt(byte[] raw, byte[] clear) throws Exception {
    SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
    cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
    byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(clear);
    return encrypted;
}

private static byte[] decrypt(byte[] raw, byte[] encrypted) throws Exception {
    SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
    cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);
    byte[] decrypted = cipher.doFinal(encrypted);
    return decrypted;
}

And invoke them like this:

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();  
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos); // bm is the bitmap object   
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();  

byte[] keyStart = "this is a key".getBytes();
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
SecureRandom sr = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");
sr.setSeed(keyStart);
kgen.init(128, sr); // 192 and 256 bits may not be available
SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey();
byte[] key = skey.getEncoded();    

// encrypt
byte[] encryptedData = encrypt(key,b);
// decrypt
byte[] decryptedData = decrypt(key,encryptedData);

This should work, I use similar code in a project right now.

As mentioned by Nacho.L PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 derivation is used as it is more secured.

Old question but I upgrade the answers supporting Android prior and post 4.2 and considering all recent changes according to Android developers blog

Plus I leave a working example on my github repo.

If you are encrypting a text file, then the following test/sample may be useful. It does the following:

1. Create a byte stream,

2. wraps that with AES encryption,

3. wrap it next with text processing

4. and lastly buffers it

        KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
        keyGenerator.init(192);

    }
}

Try with the below code it`s working for me.

public static String decrypt(String encrypted) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
    byte[] key = your Key in byte array;
    byte[] input = salt in byte array;

    SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
    IvParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(input);
    Cipher ecipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
    ecipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, ivSpec);

    byte[] raw = Base64.decode(encrypted, Base64.DEFAULT);
    byte[] originalBytes = ecipher.doFinal(raw);

    String original = new String(originalBytes, "UTF8");
    return original;
}
