i am getting this error :
” Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near “of”: syntax error: CREATE TABLE List of Notes (_idINTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, notes_nameTEXT NOT NULL notes_contentTEXT NOT NULL notes_timeTEXT NOT NULL); “

I am using this code:

 db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + " (" + 
                        KEY_ROWID + "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
                        KEY_NAME + "TEXT NOT NULL " + 
                        KEY_CONTENT + "TEXT NOT NULL " +
                        KEY_TIME + "TEXT NOT NULL);"

                        );

This is my logcat:
