Can't Create SQLite Database in Xamarin.Android

Question

I'm trying to create a database using SQLite

           try {
                _conn = new SQLiteConnection(_dbPath); 
                _conn.CreateTable<Product>();                    
            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                throw ex;
            }

it is supposed to create database at _dbPath if it doesn't exist.

_dbPath value is /storage/emulated/0/Phone Catalog/PhoneCatalogDatabase.db3 which is the default location when opening File Manager in Emulator( http://i.imgur.com/fYOT46x.png )

I get exception saying: Could not open database file: /storage/emulated/0/Phone Catalog/PhoneCatalogDatabase.db3 (CannotOpen)

Any ideas why I get the message? Maybe there is a permission issue or something.

PS here is Products class if you need to see it

[Table("Products")]
public class Product {
    [PrimaryKey, AutoIncrement]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Manufacturer { get; set; }
    public int Price { get; set; }
}

OK, I had very simple mistake. Phone Catalog doesn't exist and that was the problem. I thought sqllite would create it but it only creates database file.
