Question

I wanted to add a new table in my database, and not change the other two that I already had. So when the user will make an upgrade to the app, the two tables that were created would remain and a new table would be added to the database. So I did this:

private static class toDoDBOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    public toDoDBOpenHelper(Context context, String name,
    CursorFactory factory, int version) {
    super(context, name, factory, version);
    }
    // SQL Statement to create a new database.
    private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table " +
    DATABASE_TABLE_1 + " (" + KEY_ID1 + " integer primary key autoincrement, " +
    CLIENT_NAME + " text not null);";

    private static final String DATABASE_CREATE3 = "create table " +
     DATABASE_TABLE_3 + " (" + KEY_ID3 + " integer primary key autoincrement, " +
      DESCRIPTION + " text " + LIDER + " text " + GOAL + " text " +
       PROJECT_ID + " integer );";
    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase _db) {
    _db.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
    _db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE "+DATABASE_TABLE_2+" ("+ KEY_ID2 + " integer primary key autoincrement, "+PROJECT_NAME + " text not null, " + KEY_CREATION_DATE + " long, " +START_TIME +" text, "+
            START_DATE+ " text, " + END_TIME + " text, "+ END_DATE + " text, " +
            TOTAL + " text, "+ CLIENT_ID + " integer );");
    _db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE "+DATABASE_TABLE_3+" ("+ KEY_ID3 + " integer primary key autoincrement, "+DESCRIPTION + " text, " + LIDER + " text, " + GOAL +" text, "+
             PROJECT_ID + " integer );");
    }
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase _db, int _oldVersion, int _newVersion) {


    onCreate(_db);
    }
    }

So I basically added the another table in the onCreate method and I called onCreate in onUpgrade. But now the app crashes on the first run after the upgrading.. The users got this error:

Does it have sth to do with my open() function? This is the code:

public void open() throws SQLiteException {
try {
db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
} catch (SQLiteException ex) {
db = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
}
}

If someone has any idea what am i doing wrong please let me know as soon as possible. Thank u in advance

try just for this code

public void open() throws SQLiteException 
{
    try
    { 
       db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase(); 
    }
    catch (SQLiteException ex)
    {
    } 
}
