Android Sqlite copy esixting database into app

Hello Experts,

I'm trying to copy my existing sqlite db from my assets folder to the apk database directory using a SQLiteOpenHelper:

private Context mycontext; 
	 
	private String DB_PATH = "/data/data/com.test/databases/"; 
	//private String DB_PATH = mycontext.getApplicationContext().getPackageName()+"/databases/"; 
	private static String DB_NAME = "test.sqlite";//the extension may be .sqlite or .db 
	public SQLiteDatabase myDataBase; 
	/*private String DB_PATH = "/data/data/" 
	                            + mycontext.getApplicationContext().getPackageName() 
	                            + "/databases/";*/ 
	 
	public DatabaseHelper(Context context) throws IOException  { 
	    super(context,DB_NAME,null,1); 
	    this.mycontext=context; 
	    boolean dbexist = checkdatabase(); 
	    if(dbexist) { 
	        //System.out.println("Database exists"); 
	        opendatabase();  
	    } else { 
	        System.out.println("Database doesn't exist"); 
	        createdatabase(); 
	    } 
	 
	} 
	 
	public void createdatabase() throws IOException{ 
	    boolean dbexist = checkdatabase(); 
	    if(dbexist) { 
	        //System.out.println(" Database exists."); 
	    } else { 
	        this.getReadableDatabase(); 
	        try { 
	        	copydatabase(); 
	        } catch(IOException e){ 
	            throw new Error("Error copying database"); 
	        } 
	    } 
	}
	
	private boolean checkdatabase() { 
	    //SQLiteDatabase checkdb = null; 
	    boolean checkdb = false; 
	    try { 
	        String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME; 
	        File dbfile = new File(myPath); 
	        //checkdb = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath,null,SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE); 
	        checkdb = dbfile.exists(); 
	    } catch(SQLiteException e){ 
	        System.out.println("Database doesn't exist"); 
	    } 
	 
	    return checkdb; 
	} 
	
	private void copydatabase() throws IOException { 
	 
	    //Open your local db as the input stream 
	    InputStream myinput = mycontext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME); 
	 
	    // Path to the just created empty db 
	    String outfilename = DB_PATH + DB_NAME; 
	 
	    //Open the empty db as the output stream 
	    OutputStream myoutput = new FileOutputStream(outfilename); 
	 
	    // transfer byte to inputfile to outputfile 
	    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; 
	    int length; 
	    while ((length = myinput.read(buffer))>0) { 
	        myoutput.write(buffer,0,length); 
	    } 
	 
	    //Close the streams 
	    myoutput.flush(); 
	    myoutput.close(); 
	    myinput.close(); 
	 
	} 
	 
	public void opendatabase() throws SQLException { 
	    //Open the database 
	    String mypath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME; 
	    myDataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(mypath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE); 
	 
	} 
	 
	public synchronized void close(){ 
	    if(myDataBase != null){ 
	        myDataBase.close(); 
	    } 
	    super.close(); 
	}

	@Override
	public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	}

	@Override
	public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	} 

Select allOpen in new window

It works fine (no errors) on emulator running 2.1, but I get a dbopen: no such file or directory error as if the dbfile is not being copied on the real device running 2.3. My db is only 3kb is size for testing purposes. I have tried several posts, but i get the same error.

Please help, I'm out of options.

Thanks

UPDATE:
This code actually works. However, it crashes on first run/installation. On second run, it seems to create the db and select record. Any ideas on why would it crash on fist run?
