You can copy the file to the SDCard using the following code:

File sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File data = Environment.getDataDirectory();
if (sd.canWrite()) {
    String currentDBPath = "\\data\\application.package\\databases\\name";
    String backupDBPath = "name";
    File currentDB = new File(data, currentDBPath);
    File backupDB = new File(sd, backupDBPath);
    if (currentDB.exists()) {
        FileChannel src;
    try {
    src = new FileInputStream(currentDB).getChannel();
        FileChannel dst = new FileOutputStream(backupDB).getChannel();
        try {
        dst.transferFrom(src, 0, src.size());
    src.close();
            dst.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {                                                    
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

Remember to add the following permission: android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

The email program can't access your application's private files, in this case, the database you are trying to send. Copy the database to a folder in the SD card and attach it from there.
