title: Get databases directory for my app programmatically
body: <p>I want to use a "pre loaded" database in my app. There are tons of questions about this and most point to this blog article <a href="http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> or similars.</p>
  
  <p>So far so good. I just want to know if there is a better way to get the default databases directory so you don't have to use something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private static String DB_PATH = "/data/data/YOUR_PACKAGE/databases/";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I mean, maybe that is changed in the future or maybe a device or rom could place it elsewhere... so is there a way to get this path programatically?</p>
  
  <p>In Context exists a method to getDatabasePath(name), but you need to give it an existing db name and well... it doesn't exist yet, I want to move it there :P</p>
