import android.database.SQLException;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;


public class classdbOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    public static final String KEY_ROWID = "_id";
    public static final String KEY_DESC = "countdesc";
    public static final String KEY_DATE = "countdate";
    public static final String KEY_EVENT = "countevent";
    public static final String DATABASE_NAME= "countdb";
    public static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "countable";
    public static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;


    public classdbOpenHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

        String CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS" + DATABASE_TABLE + "("
                + KEY_ROWID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + KEY_DESC + " TEXT, " + KEY_DATE + " TEXT, " + KEY_EVENT + " TEXT  )";
        db.execSQL(CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE);
    }


    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXITS " + DATABASE_TABLE);
        onCreate(db);

    }


    public Cursor fetchAllEvents() {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();

        Cursor mCursor = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_ROWID,
                KEY_DESC, KEY_DATE, KEY_EVENT },
        null, null, null, null, null );
        if (mCursor != null) {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
        }
        return mCursor;
   }

    public Cursor fetchEventByName(String inputText,String datevalue ) throws SQLException {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();

        Cursor mCursor = null;
        if (inputText == null || inputText.length () == 0) {
        mCursor = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_ROWID,
                KEY_DESC, KEY_DATE, KEY_EVENT },
        null, null, null, null, null);
        }
        else {
            mCursor  =  db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM countable WHERE countdesc = ? AND countdate = ?", new String[] {inputText,datevalue});           
        }

        if (mCursor != null) {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
        }
        return mCursor;
   }

    public void delete(long id) {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();

        db.delete(DATABASE_TABLE, KEY_ROWID + " = ?",
                new String[] { String.valueOf(id )});
        db.close();
    }
}

give space after EXISTS like this

String CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + DATABASE_TABLE + "("
            + KEY_ROWID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + KEY_DESC + " TEXT, " + KEY_DATE + " TEXT, " + KEY_EVENT + " TEXT  )";

you have no space between EXISTS and table name, countable in your case.
