I am using the SQLite database to store data in my application. Can the databases I created for use in my application be accessed by others or any outside application?

No. The databse file is stored in /data/data/yourpackage.yourapp/database. On a non rooted phone, you don’t even have file system access there. Other Applications can not access this file as well, for very good security reasons.
