Hiding AES decryption key in android app

How can I not only hide AES keys but also encrypt and decrypt using the predefined keys / commands in a native library ( encode.so ) so that I can compile and include it in my android app.

That is, calling the native functions in the library to get the operations encrypt(String text) and decrypt(String text) .

I currently use the code below.

public class encode {

    private String iv = "00000000000000iv"; //Dummy iv
    private String SecretKey = "0000000secretkey"; //Dummy secretKey

    private IvParameterSpec ivspec;
    private SecretKeySpec keyspec;
    private Cipher cipher;


    public encode()
    {
        ivspec = new IvParameterSpec(iv.getBytes());
        keyspec = new SecretKeySpec(SecretKey.getBytes(), "AES");

        try {
            cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (NoSuchPaddingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public byte[] encrypt(String text) throws Exception
    {
        if(text == null || text.length() == 0) {
            throw new Exception("Empty string");
        }
        byte[] encrypted = null;
        try {
            cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keyspec, ivspec);
            encrypted = cipher.doFinal(text.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            throw new Exception("[encrypt] " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return encrypted;
    }

    public byte[] decrypt(String code) throws Exception
    {
        if(code == null || code.length() == 0) {
            throw new Exception("Empty string");
        }
        byte[] decrypted = null;
        try {
            cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keyspec, ivspec);
            decrypted = cipher.doFinal(hexToBytes(code));
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            throw new Exception("[decrypt] " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return decrypted;
    }

    public static String bytesToHex(byte[] data)
    {
        if (data==null) {
            return null;
        }
        int len = data.length;
        String str = "";
        for (int i=0; i<len; i++) {
            if ((data[i]&0xFF)<16) {
                str = str + "0" + java.lang.Integer.toHexString(data[i]&0xFF);
            }
            else {
                str = str + java.lang.Integer.toHexString(data[i]&0xFF);
            }
        }
        return str;
    }

    public static byte[] hexToBytes(String str) {
        if (str==null) {
            return null;
        }
        else if (str.length() < 2) {
            return null;
        }
        else {
            int len = str.length() / 2;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[len];
            for (int i=0; i<len; i++) {
                buffer[i] = (byte) Integer.parseInt(str.substring(i*2,i*2+2),16);
            }
            return buffer;
        }
    }

}

• How could I make a compiled version of the above function?

Example of AES encryption web in C, maybe it helps to get an idea of the desired operation, but I do not know such as calling this function ( natively ) or if it needs tuning.

int encrypt(
    void* buffer,
    int buffer_len, /* Because the plaintext could include null bytes*/
    char* IV, 
    char* key,
    int key_len

  MCRYPT td = mcrypt_module_open("rijndael-128", NULL, "cbc", NULL);
  int blocksize = mcrypt_enc_get_block_size(td);
  if( buffer_len % blocksize != 0 ){return 1;}

  mcrypt_generic_init(td, key, key_len, IV);
  mcrypt_generic(td, buffer, buffer_len);

  mdecrypt_generic(td, buffer, buffer_len);
  mcrypt_generic_deinit (td);
  mcrypt_module_close(td);

  return 0;
}

void display(char* ciphertext, int len){
  int v;
  for (v=0; v<len; v++){
    printf("%d ", ciphertext[v]);
  }
  printf("\n");
}

int main()
{
  MCRYPT td, td2;
  char * plaintext = "test text 123";
  char* IV = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA";
  char *key = "0123456789abcdef";
  int keysize = 16; /* 128 bits */
  char* buffer;
  int buffer_len = 16;

  buffer = calloc(1, buffer_len);
  strncpy(buffer, plaintext, buffer_len);

  return 0;
