I used Logcat to check how far the program got before it reached the error.
I have commented //error^ under the line of code where it fails.

that line of code is: User user = userDB.getUser(username.getText().toString());

I’m fairly new to SQLite, so this syntax error really throws me off.

I’m thinking the problem is in how I created my table. But I don’t know.
Thanks for any help.

You need to include appropriate spacing in your create table query:

String CREATE_USERS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_USERS + "(" + KEY_ID + 
" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY," + KEY_USERNAME + " TEXT," + KEY_PASSWORD + " TEXT,"
+ KEY_NAME + " TEXT," + KEY_EMAIL + " TEXT" + ");";

For better usage, its is good to use String.format:

String query = String.format("CREATE TABLE %s (%s INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
%s TEXT, %s TEXT, %s TEXT, %s TEXT);", TABLE_USERS, KEY_ID, KEY_USERNAME,
KEY_PASSWORD, KEY_NAME, KEY_EMAIL);
