SQLiteAssetHelper - problems on specific phones, e.g. OnePlus

I'm experiencing crashes on some devices when using SQLiteAssetHelper in my app, most of all on OnePlus devices. Now I read here that it has to do with the directory the database is stored.

Now I'm trying to find a workaround, the best I could come up with currently is a constructor like this

public MySubclass(Context context) {
    super(context, databaseName, context.getFilesDir() + "/databases", null, databaseVersion);

Is this the correct way to do it or are there other problems with this approach?
