No Table error on upgrading sqlite database

Question

I am new to android development and have a database with two tables "users" and "item". I have tried to create a new table to the existing database amd updatet my database version number and placed the code to create the new table in "onUpgrade" method, but I get an error saying the table "politicians" which I have added the create string in onUpdate method does not exist. What have I done wrong. I suspect that my onUpdrade method is incorrect, how do I add a table to an existing database in Android studio using sqlite, I am an android beginner. I first check the version then run a create string in my onUpagrade method as this was what I found when I searched how to solve the problem
