To copy a file from assets folder to /databases folder:

public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "data.db";


private void copyDatabaseFromAssets() {
    try {

        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        OutputStream myOutput;
        int length;
        InputStream myInput;

        String DB_PATH = this.getDatabasePath(AppSettings.DATABASE_NAME).getAbsolutePath();

        AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
        myInput = assetManager.open("databases/" + AppSettings.DATABASE_NAME);

        myOutput = new FileOutputStream(DB_PATH);
        while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
            myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }
        myOutput.close();
        myOutput.flush();
        myInput.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
