Copied android db file is empty

I'm trying to copy an android db file from my application folder to another one on SD card. And from DDMS file explorer i can notice that the copied file size is 0. This is my code bellow.

public boolean copyDBFile(){
    File dbFile =new File(Environment.getDataDirectory() + DB_PATH);
    File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
      + "/BACKUP_DIR");
    if (!exportDir.exists()) {
        exportDir.mkdirs();
    }

    File file = new File(exportDir, dbFile.getName());
    try {
        file.createNewFile();           
        copyFile(dbFile, file);
        return true;
    } catch (IOException e) {     
        return false;

}


public void copyFile(File src, File dst) throws IOException {
    FileChannel inChannel = new FileInputStream(src).getChannel();
    FileChannel outChannel = new FileOutputStream(dst).getChannel();

    try {
        inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel);
    } finally {
        if (inChannel != null)
          inChannel.close();
        if (outChannel != null)
          outChannel.close();
    }
}

Is it a permission issue? Thanks for help.

@piyush Thanks for the try/catch notice. I found the error after adding a log trace in boolean copyDBFile() method at catch block.

public boolean copyDBFile(){
File dbFile =new File(Environment.getDataDirectory() + DB_PATH);
File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
  + "/BACKUP_DIR");
if (!exportDir.exists()) {
    exportDir.mkdirs();
}

File file = new File(exportDir, dbFile.getName());
try {
    file.createNewFile();           
    copyFile(dbFile, file);
    return true;
} catch (IOException e) {  
    Log.e("Sarelo", "Error creating file", e);
    return false;
}

}

My DB_PATH was already set to /data/data/package/databases/data.db and added to Environment.getDataDirectory() the dbFile result to /data/data/data/package/databases/data.db That's the big mistake! Thanks all for help :)

try using outChannel.force(true); before using the transferTo(...);
