You need to use SQLOpenHelper, create a new class extending SQLOpenHelper, then add the unimplemented methods and specifically override the onCreateDatabase and onUpdate

You might want to take the course on SQL databases in android right here on treehouse. Also check http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidSQLite/article.html. This is a very good article about using sqlite and might prove helpful.
