The issue is that a device stores a database in his data/data/.../databases folder. So, when you change sth about the database (name, add android metadata table, size..) it wont make any difference because of the stored database and the method that checked for existing database.

To get the newest database, after changing it, you must run the program without checking for existing databses (e.g. instead of dbExist = checkDataBase(); make it just false).

dbExist = checkDataBase();

Change to:

dbExists = false;

After you picked up the "new" databse you can return to checking the existing ones.
