There is an open source SQLite-crypto package which I've used on Symbian and seen used on iPhone. But you basically have to load an entirely new version of SQLite onto the phone, and I suspect that on Android there's no way to switch it in in place of the existing version, so it wouldn't interface like the built-in SQL support. Also, of course, you'd be talking C/C++ native method coding in buckets.
You can do your own encryption for individual columns, but you then can't practically index/search on those columns.
