Work around of Android SQLite full-text search for Asian text

I have read about many posts asking whether the SQLite based full-text search can be done in Android, and all the answers point out that the built-in SQLite of Android does not allow custom tokenizer. The default tokenizer considers the words separated by space or other signs, but Asian words (like Chinese) need its special tokenizer, but Android does not allow adding custom one.

The posts I read were years ago. Is there any update in recent Android versions? I just searched and did not find an answer.

And I am thinking a work-around. Is it feasible that before I INSERT tuples into the FTS3/FTS4 virtual table for indexing, I artificially add spaces between each word, so that the default tokenizer can consider each Asian "word" like an English word? When doing the query, the query string does the same, that artificial spaces are also added. I guess this shall work, but want to see any idea about this approach.
