android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException: unknown error (code 14): Could not open database

I have read various on site about this issue but I am not able to figure this out. I am using pre-build database for this app. I am using jellybean for this app.

Replace the checkDataBase() code with the code below:

File dbFile = myContext.getDatabasePath(DB_NAME);
return dbFile.exists();
