You can use getDatabasePath method in your Helper class:

public class MyDatabase extends SQLiteAssetHelper {

    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "wl.db";
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;  
    public String databasePath = "";    

    public MyDatabase(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);

        // you can use an alternate constructor to specify a database location
        // (such as a folder on the sd card)
        // you must ensure that this folder is available and you have permission
        // to write to it
        // super(context, DATABASE_NAME, context.getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath(), null, DATABASE_VERSION);

        databasePath = context.getDatabasePath("wl.db").getPath();
    }
