Solution 1:

You are using SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase on a file path that may not exist. Add below 2 lines just before SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase call

privatebooleancheckDataBase() {
    SQLiteDatabasecheckDB=null;
    try {

        StringmyPath= DB_PATH + DB_NAME;

        Filefile=newFile(myPath);
        if (file.exists() && !file.isDirectory())
        checkDB = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
    } catch (SQLiteException e) {
        // database does't exist yet.
    }

    if (checkDB != null) {
        checkDB.close();
    }

    return checkDB != null ? true : false;
}

Solution 2:

Error stopped to show after I changed the targetSdkVersion from 23 to 22. This downgrade forced to uninstall the package at the device and when It was reinstalled it worked fine. Thank you Frank N. Stein for the help!
