Welcome to the forum! 
I'm sorry it took so long for anyone to reply to you - I saw you post on the first day, but don't have a solid answer for you.
This Stackoverflow thread discusses a problem similar to yours, and suggests a number of tools to peek into the phone's databases. Although I get the impression that you want to do this runtime, it may still be a step forward.
I suppose you do know about the Android developer's site, right? I haven't tried what you're trying to do; I suspect that (similar to how the Intents (don't) work) there's just no way of obtaining that information unless you already know it.
Perhaps in a future API improvement release?
Good luck though, and welcome again.

I haven't tried this on Android, but with SQLite you would normally do
SELECT * FROM databasename.sqlite_master WHERE type='table';
SELECT * FROM databasename.sqlite_master WHERE type='table';
