SQLiteOpenHelper constructor has an version argument. If you supply some number that is bigger than the existing database version in phones memory, onUpgrade function will run after getWritableDatabase is called. Inside onUpgrade you should handle updating your database.

Some example code here: Question about onUpgrade method android
