Answer 1

This is and old question, but answering may help others.

The easiest way to do this (only for debuggin environments) is to modify the constructor of the class:

public class MySQLiteOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    MySQLiteOpenHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, "/mnt/sdcard/database_name.db", null, 0);
    }
}

Remember to change for production environments with these lines:

public class MySQLiteOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    MySQLiteOpenHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, "database_name.db", null, 0);
    }
}
