You may face this issue if you are running your app on Android s Marshmallow or later version  API level 23 or greater   because of the new Real-time Permissions model introduced in this      Beginning in Android 6 0  API level 23   users grant permissions to apps while the app is running  not when they install the app  This approach streamlines the app install process  since the user does not need to grant permissions when they install or update the app    For getting permissions at runtime  you will have to request the user  You can do that in following way   First request for permissions   String   permissions    Manifest permission WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE           requestPermissions permissions  WRITE REQUEST CODE     And then you can check the results in    Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult int requestCode  String permissions    int   grantResults        switch  requestCode           case WRITE REQUEST CODE           if grantResults 0     PackageManager PERMISSION GRANTED                Permission granted               Continue with writing files                      else               Permission denied                     break            Here is good learning source requesting-runtime-permissions-in-android-marshmallow

I lately came up with this error  But it was even more odd  I was working on Android N and everything was going smoothly OK  until I test it on JellyBeans and Lollipop  In which I kept on getting the same DB error      android database sqlite SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException  unknown error    code 14   Could not open database 06-10 23 07 03 641    E SQLiteDatabase 4419     I had the right permissions in my manifest  including    lt uses-permission android name  android permission WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE    gt    The problem was this line in my DataBaseHelper java   private static String DB PATH     data data com example quotes databases     which needed to be loaded from the context this way   String DB PATH   getContext   getApplicationInfo   dataDir   databases      Now is working properly form SDK 17

This can be caused by bad permissions or SELinux  Ensure the permissions  and owner group are correctly set  Then run this   restorecon  data data your app folder databases your db   restorecon restores file default SELinux security context

In runtime problems like these firstly open logcat if you are using android studio  try to analyse trace tree  go to the beginning from where exception started to rise  since that is usually the source of the problem  Now check for two things    Check in device file explorer on the bottom right  there exist a database created by you  mostly you find it in DATA -  DATA -  com example hpc demo your pakage name  -  DATABASE -  demo db Check that in your helper class you have added required     for example like below DB location    data data     mcontext getPackageName       database

As mentioned by  CommonsWare  you will want to try android sqlite asset helper  It made opening a pre-existing db a piece of cake for me   I literally had it working in about a half hour after spending 3 hours trying to do it all manually  Funny thing is  I thought I was doing the same thing the library did for me  but something was missing

My gremlin for this problem was bad directory permissions    Good permissions   drwxr-x--x u0 a20   u0 a20            2013-11-13 20 45 com google earth drwxr-x--x u0 a63   u0 a63            2013-11-13 20 46 com nuance xt9 input drwxr-x--x u0 a53   u0 a53            2013-11-13 20 45 com tf thinkdroid sg drwxr-x--x u0 a68   u0 a68            2013-12-24 15 03 eu chainfire supersu drwxr-x--x u0 a59   u0 a59            2013-11-13 20 45 jp co omronsoft iwnnime ml drwxr-x--x u0 a60   u0 a60            2013-11-13 20 45 jp co omronsoft iwnnime ml kbd white drwxr-x--x u0 a69   u0 a69            2013-12-24 15 03 org mozilla firefox   Bad permissions   root grouper  data data   ls -lad com mypackage                   drw-rw-r-- u0 a70   u0 a70            2014-01-11 14 18 com mypackage   How did they get that way  I set them that way  while fiddling around trying to get adb pull to work  Clearly I did it wrong    Hey Google  it would be awful nice if a permission error produced a meaningful error message  or failing that if you didnt have to hand tweak permissions to use the tools

Android s default system path of your application database is   data data YOUR PACKAGE databases YOUR DB NAME  Your logcat clearly says Failed to open database   data data com example quotes databasesQuotesdb   Which means there is no file present on the given path or You have given the wrong path for the data file  As I can see there should be     after databases folder   Your DB PATH variable should end with a       private static String DB PATH     data data com example quotes databases     Your correct path will be now   data data com example quotes databases Quotesdb

android database sqlite SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException  unknown error  code 14   Could not open database   If you are getting this after replacing your database files using the Device File Explorer  sometimes this happens due to permissions and SELinux security contexts   The Device File Explorer  as of AS3 6 3  will upload them with root permissions rwxrwxrwx set for all  777    Look around in your app folders for the user id  used for your app   Execute the following commands in terminal      adb devices    emulator-5554    adb root    adb -s emulator-5554 shell    cd  data data com yourorg yourapp    ls -l   You ll get a listing like   drwxrwx--x 2 u0 a85 u0 a85 4096 2020-04-23 16 09 cache drwxrwx--x 2 u0 a85 u0 a85 4096 2020-04-23 16 09 code cache drwxrwx--x 2 u0 a85 u0 a85 4096 2020-04-23 16 09 databases drwxrwx--x 2 u0 a85 u0 a85 4096 2020-04-23 16 09 shared prefs   u0 a85  or whatever it might be  will be the app owner and group id  Delete your databases on the device  drop in your replacement database files using Device File Explorer  and in terminal  execute the following  keeping in mind the owner id    cd databases chown u0 a85   db  chgrp u0 a85   db  chmod 600   db  restorecon   db   This changes the database files to their appropriate owner group id  RW permissions  and resets the SELinux security contexts for those files   Although I have had success replacing database files NOT having to do this  this problem seems to happen randomly enough that doing this works

Please make sure you are not trying to open and close the database repeatedly either from main thread or background thread   Make a singleton class in your application and try to create and open data from this class only   Is guarantees you that database open call is made only when it does not exist   In your entire application use the same approach of getting sqLiteDatabase object when it is required   I used below code and my problem is solved now after 1 5 days                                                                     In Your Activity class onCreate   method   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity          private AssetsDatabaseHelper helper        Override         protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            helper   AssetsDatabaseHelper getInstance this             sqLiteDatabase   helper getDatabase                          public class AssetsDatabaseHelper           Context context          SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase          DatabaseHelper databaseHelper          private static AssetsDatabaseHelper instance           private  AssetsDatabaseHelper Context context               this context   context               databaseHelper   new DatabaseHelper context               if databaseHelper checkDatabase                     try                      databaseHelper openDatabase                     catch SQLException sqle                       Log e  Exception in opening         database    sqle getCause       sqle getCause                                    else                  try                      databaseHelper createDatabase                     catch IOException ioe                       Log d  Exception in creating         database    ioe getCause       ioe getCause                                   try                      databaseHelper openDatabase                     catch SQLException sqle       Log e  Exception in opening         database      sqle getCause                                              sqLiteDatabase   databaseHelper getSqLiteDatabase                       public static AssetsDatabaseHelper getInstance Context context               if instance    null                   return instance               else                    instance   new AssetsDatabaseHelper context                   return instance                                   public SQLiteDatabase getDatabase                return sqLiteDatabase

I don t think this is your problem  but it still looks pretty bad to me   You have a duplicate layer of com examples quote in your project   Your Activity section in your AndroidManifest xml should look more like this            lt activity             android name   MainActivity              android label   string app name   gt               lt intent-filter gt                   lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt                    lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt               lt  intent-filter gt           lt  activity gt    You may even have your classes under src com example quotes com example quotes instead of just in com example quotes   I m not sure if this is causing your problem  But it looks a bit messed up   All your other stuff looks pretty standard to me

I think it s because your DB Path finishes without a      When you concatenate the path with the database  the variable myPath has the following string    data data com example quotes databasesQuotesdb    I propose these changes   private static String DB PATH     data data com example quotes databases    private static String DB NAME    Quotesdb db     And another thing  you should open the database in the Main activity  and implement the onPause   and onResume   methods with database close   and database open   respectively  This is my example for the Main Activity  used with Cordova  web design and all the stuff  P    package home shell accessApp   import android os Bundle  import android util Log   import org apache cordova     public class AccessApp extends CordovaActivity            private SellitDAO db    This is the class name for my SQLiteOpenHelper       Override     public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            db   new SellitDAO this           db open             super onCreate savedInstanceState           super init               Set by  lt content src  index html    gt  in config xml         super loadUrl Config getStartUrl               super loadUrl  file    android asset www index html               Override     public void onPause             super onPause            db close                Override     public void onResume             super onResume            db open              Good Luck
