here is some my changes..
this is my FirstClass.java

// Database creation SQL statement
  private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table " 
      + TABLE_TODO
      + "(" 
      + COLUMN_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, " 
      + COLUMN_CATEGORY + " text not null, " 
      + COLUMN_SUMMARY + " text not null," 
      + COLUMN_DESCRIPTION
      + " text not null" 
      + COLUMN_DATE + "date not null " //i have added the date column
      + ");";
     public static void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
    database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);

  }

  public static void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase database, int oldVersion,
      int newVersion) {
    Log.w(FirstClass.class.getName(), "Upgrading database from version "
        + oldVersion + " to " + newVersion
        + ", which will destroy all old data");
    database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_TODO);
   // database.execSQL("INSERT INTO "+TABLE_TODO+" VALUES (null, datetime()) ");
    onCreate(database);
  }

and here is my TodoDatabaseHelper.java

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "todotable2.db";
  private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 2;

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

  // Method is called during creation of the database
  @Override
  public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
    FirstClass.onCreate(database);
  }

  // Method is called during an upgrade of the database,
  // e.g. if you increase the database version
  @Override
  public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase database, int oldVersion,
      int newVersion) {
    FirstClass.onUpgrade(database, oldVersion, newVersion);
  }

Answer 1

using onUpgrade() you just remove table structure not entire database.

Solution:

(1) Remove your application pro grammatically when you update database.

(2) you have to uninstall your application in your mobile and reinstall.
