Assuming that you have a database and a content provider in your application.... You can use the database of other application if it is exported. To export your database you just need to set the value of android:exported attribute of Provider tag to true in android.manifest file

    <provider
        android:exported="true"
        android:name="<content provider>"
        android:authorities="<content provider authority>" >
    </provider>

In the other application's Android.Manifest file provide the permission to access the content provider.
