FileNoFoundException when trying to backup Database to SD card

I am trying to backup my databases from my app to my sd card but every time I try I get FileNotFoundException and I am not sure why when the name of the database is right

code to backup databases

try{
        File dbFile = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory() + "/data/my.app.package/databases/Games.db");
        File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/BCAData");
           if (!exportDir.exists()) {
              exportDir.mkdirs();
           }
           File file = new File(exportDir, dbFile.getName());

           file.createNewFile();
           FileChannel inChannel = new FileInputStream(dbFile).getChannel();  //fails here
           FileChannel outChannel = new FileOutputStream(file).getChannel();
           try {
              inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel);
           } finally {
              if (inChannel != null)
                 inChannel.close();
              if (outChannel != null)
                 outChannel.close();
           }
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

in my content provider I have the database name like this

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "Games";
private static final String GAMES_TABLE = "Games";

error:

I dont see why this is wrong that is the path so is that not the name of the database?

Instead of:

File dbFile = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory() + "/data/my.app.package/databases/Games.db");

Try:

File dbFile = getDatabasePath(DATABASE_NAME);
