Not based on anything you have described here. You manually copied the
database to the device in step #1. That does not put the database
inside of the APK file, any more than copying a file to a Windows PC
automatically puts it inside an .MSI file.

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
LogCat and look at the stack trace associated with your error message.
