Use the following constructor for your cl_DBHandler class

public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "MyDBName.db";
public static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

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

In your service or activity:

cl_DBHandler m_DBHandler = new cl_DBHandler(this);

Then open your database:

SQLiteDatabase db;
try {
        db = m_DBHandler.getWritableDatabase();

    } catch (SQLiteException ex) {
        db = m_DBHandler.getReadableDatabase();
    }
// do anything you like for example:
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(strQuery, null);
