No.

Or any other way to make sure, my apps can access it on my phone.

Your app should be creating and populating its own database. After all, assuming there are more than a couple of users in your home, you will not be able to manually copy a database to all your users' phones.

You might try https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-sqlite-asset-helper as a way to package your database inside your app to deploy to devices.
