The SQLite Java wrapper in Android automatically creates the directory when you use it to create a database. Since you are bypassing that you'll need to create the directory yourself manually. However I'd advise you against this whole approach. There are more behind the scenes fields now (eg user version), and the approach taken will be brittle for future changes in the Android platform. You can store the raw data in your assets and then populate the database on first use. The data format used in your assets can be optimised for its usage as you'll only be reading from it sequentially (eq SQL text, CSV, binary, compressed, incrementing field omitted, de-normalized). You can expose data as a ContentProvider instead of as SQLite. Your content provider can then combine/augment/override the assets data and the database as is appropriate. If you do still want to do a file copy then the most compatible approach is to create the database in an emulator running your oldest supported Android version (minSdkVersion) as that will ensure all needed behind the scenes fields are present and Android will know how to upgrade when used on more recent versions. Make sure you use SQLiteOpenHelper for your database usage as it will make managing installs/upgrades etc easier.
