Android - WITHOUT ROWID is only supported in SQLite version 3.8.2 or later

As part of the improvement for my Android application, for the SQLite database, I was using the WITHOUT ROWID keywords to save around 500 KB of disk space. However, when I bundled it in my Android application, it threw the following errors messages:

.../net.openwritings.xmtl E/SQLiteLog: (1) near "WITHOUT": syntax error
.../net.openwritings.xmtl E/SQLiteLog: (11) database corruption at line 93687 of [00bb9c9ce4]
.../net.openwritings.xmtl E/SQLiteLog: (1) near "WITHOUT": syntax error
.../net.openwritings.xmtl E/SQLiteLog: (11) database corruption at line 93687 of [00bb9c9ce4]
.../net.openwritings.xmtl E/SQLiteLog: (11) malformed database schema (aminutes) - near "WITHOUT": syntax error

I found out that the WITHOUT ROWID keywords is only supported in SQLite version 3.8.2(2013-12-06) or later. My Android application is compiled with minSdkVersion 16, which uses SQLite version 3.7. I have 2 options: either force my application to use Android API 24 or forget about the WITHOUT ROWID keywords. I choose the later. Saving 500 KB out of 28 MB is negligible.

Here is the mapping of Android API versions with SQLite versions. The complete list can be found at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/package-summary.html.
