ENOENT (No such file or directory) on database file

java.io.IOException: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

This happens on this line of code:

  File db = getDatabasePath("questions");
  db.createNewFile();//HERE

I am trying to create a database file with the name questions.db , which will be empty. I will then pull the file from the server and insert it there. I then want to be able to access the database from sqlite.
