Problem with decryption , cipher in android AES/CTR/NoPadding

When i use this code on android Marshmallow(Android 6.0.1) ,the decryption is Ok but when i run on device with android Oreo(Android 8) the decryption value is not the same and data is not Correct. 

private void decrypt(Cipher cipher, Uri uri) throws Exception {
    long a = 113845229;
    InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
    CipherInputStream cipherInputStream = new CipherInputStream(inputStream, cipher);
    cipherInputStream.skip(a);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[8];
    cipherInputStream.read(buffer);
}

// create cipher
private Cipher createCipher(byte[] iv, byte[] salt, String password) throws Exception {
    IvParameterSpec mIvParameterSpec = new IvParameterSpec(iv);
    SecretKeySpec mSecretKeySpec = generate(password, salt);
    Cipher mCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding");
    mCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, mSecretKeySpec, mIvParameterSpec);
    return mCipher;
}
// generate key
private SecretKeySpec generate(String password, byte[] salt) throws Exception {
    MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
    md.update(salt);
    byte[] key = md.digest(password.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
    return new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
}

buffer data is ok in android 6 but in android 8 the data is not correct.

I came to the conclusion after research .you should implement InputStream with specific Cipher. 

private static final int AES_BLOCK_SIZE = 16;
private InputStream mUpstream;
private Cipher mCipher;
private SecretKeySpec mSecretKeySpec;
private IvParameterSpec mIvParameterSpec;

public StreamingCipherInputStream(InputStream inputStream, Cipher cipher, 
    SecretKeySpec secretKeySpec, IvParameterSpec ivParameterSpec) {
    super(inputStream, cipher);
    mUpstream = inputStream;
    mCipher = cipher;
    mSecretKeySpec = secretKeySpec;
    mIvParameterSpec = ivParameterSpec; }
@Override
public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException {
    return super.read(b, off, len);  }
public long forceSkip(long bytesToSkip) throws IOException {
    long skipped = mUpstream.skip(bytesToSkip);
    try {
        int skip = (int) (bytesToSkip % AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
        long blockOffset = bytesToSkip - skip;
        long numberOfBlocks = blockOffset / AES_BLOCK_SIZE;

        BigInteger ivForOffsetAsBigInteger = new BigInteger(1, 
        mIvParameterSpec.getIV()).add(BigInteger.valueOf(numberOfBlocks));
        byte[] ivForOffsetByteArray = ivForOffsetAsBigInteger.toByteArray();
        IvParameterSpec computedIvParameterSpecForOffset;
        if (ivForOffsetByteArray.length < AES_BLOCK_SIZE) {
            byte[] resizedIvForOffsetByteArray = new byte[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
            System.arraycopy(ivForOffsetByteArray, 0, resizedIvForOffsetByteArray, 
            AES_BLOCK_SIZE - ivForOffsetByteArray.length, ivForOffsetByteArray.length);
            computedIvParameterSpecForOffset = new IvParameterSpec(resizedIvForOffsetByteArray);
        } else {
            computedIvParameterSpecForOffset = new IvParameterSpec(ivForOffsetByteArray, ivForOffsetByteArray.length - AES_BLOCK_SIZE, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
        }
        mCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, mSecretKeySpec, computedIvParameterSpecForOffset);
        byte[] skipBuffer = new byte[skip];
        mCipher.update(skipBuffer, 0, skip, skipBuffer);
        Arrays.fill(skipBuffer, (byte) 0);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return 0;
    }
    return skipped;
}
@Override
public int available() throws IOException {
    return mUpstream.available();}

I believe you're looking for random access to ctr encrypted data; Skip method in CipherInputStream just doesn't do that and is 'Android version independent'(still in use; not deprecated or replaced since api level 1!);

Take a look at CipherInputStream class file; It has few internal properties: 

private Cipher cipher;//the cipher you pass to constructor;
// the underlying input stream
private InputStream input;
/* the buffer holding data that have been read in from the
   underlying stream, but have not been processed by the cipher
   engine. the size 512 bytes is somewhat randomly chosen */
private byte[] ibuffer = new byte[512];//holds encrypted data
// having reached the end of the underlying input stream
private boolean done = false;
/* the buffer holding data that have been processed by the cipher
   engine, but have not been read out */
private byte[] obuffer;//a portion of data that's decrypted but not yet read;
// the offset pointing to the next "new" byte
private int ostart = 0;
// the offset pointing to the last "new" byte
private int ofinish = 0;

and this is what skip does in CipherInputStream;

public long skip(long n) throws IOException {
    int available = ofinish - ostart;
    if (n > available) {
        n = available;
    }
    if (n < 0) {
        return 0;
    }
    ostart += n;
    return n;
}

It doesn't load new data to obuffer or ibuffer; it only skips on what is available in the obuffer( just increases ostart);

This should do it(has room for improvement): 

private static IvParameterSpec calculateIVForOffset(final IvParameterSpec iv,
    final long blockOffset) {
    final BigInteger ivBI = new BigInteger(1, iv.getIV());
    final BigInteger ivForOffsetBI = ivBI.add(BigInteger.valueOf(blockOffset
        / AES_BLOCK_SIZE));

    final byte[] ivForOffsetBA = ivForOffsetBI.toByteArray();
    final IvParameterSpec ivForOffset;
    if (ivForOffsetBA.length >= AES_BLOCK_SIZE) {
    ivForOffset = new IvParameterSpec(ivForOffsetBA, ivForOffsetBA.length - AES_BLOCK_SIZE,
            AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
    } else {
        final byte[] ivForOffsetBASized = new byte[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
        System.arraycopy(ivForOffsetBA, 0, ivForOffsetBASized, AES_BLOCK_SIZE
            - ivForOffsetBA.length, ivForOffsetBA.length);
        ivForOffset = new IvParameterSpec(ivForOffsetBASized);
    }
    return ivForOffset;
}
long offset = 113845229;// aka a
private void decrypt(Cipher cipher, Uri uri) throws Exception {
    long skip_this_much=offset-(offset%16);
    InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
    do{
        skip_this_much=skip_this_much-inputStream.skip(skip_this_much);//InputStream.skip does not necessarily skip as much as specified in parameter and returns the actually skipped value;
    }while(skip_this_much!=0);//not there yet; keep skipping;
    CipherInputStream cipherInputStream = new CipherInputStream(inputStream, cipher);
    int read_this_much=8;
    byte[] buffer=new byte[read_this_much+(offset%16)];
    cipherInputStream.read(buffer,0,read_this_much+(offset%16));//improve this yourself
    buffer= Arrays.copyOfRange(buffer,offset%16,read_this_much+(offset%16));
}
// create cipher for offset
private Cipher createCipher(byte[] iv, byte[] salt, String password) throws Exception {
    IvParameterSpec mIvParameterSpec = new IvParameterSpec(iv);
    SecretKeySpec mSecretKeySpec = generate(password, salt);
    Cipher mCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding");
    mCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, mSecretKeySpec, calculateIVForOffset(mIvParameterSpec,offset));
    return mCipher;
}
// generate key
private SecretKeySpec generate(String password, byte[] salt) throws Exception {
    MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
    md.update(salt);
    byte[] key = md.digest(password.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
    return new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
}
