android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near " ": syntax error

I'm having a problem while adding records in SQLite.

This is the Error:

09-18 17:47:47.586: E/AndroidRuntime(1039):
   java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.capstone.pinoygoodies/com.capstone.pinoygoodies.GroceryView}:
   android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near " ":
   syntax error:
   CREATE TABLE tblItem 
                 (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
                  grocery_item TEXT NOT NULL,
                  grocery_qty TEXT NOT NULL

My CREATE TABLE

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + "(" +
KEY_ITEMID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
KEY_ITEM + " TEXT NOT NULL, " + 
KEY_QTY + " TEXT NOT NULL ");

Whenever I hit the add button, this error is being triggered.

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + "(" +
KEY_ITEMID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
KEY_ITEM + " TEXT NOT NULL, " + 
KEY_QTY + " TEXT NOT NULL )");

You need to add ")" at last in your create table.

Insert Query

    String qty = "QTY";
    String item = "ITEM";
    String sql = "INSERT or replace INTO "+ DATABASE_TABLE +" (qty, item) VALUES('"+ qty +"','"+ item + "')";
    db.execSQL(sql);

You are missing the right parenthesis of the Create Table Syntax, correct it as follows, 

CREATE TABLE tblItem 
                 (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
                  grocery_item TEXT NOT NULL,
                  grocery_qty TEXT NOT NULL );

db.execSQL("
    CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + "(" +
    KEY_ITEMID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
    KEY_ITEM + " TEXT NOT NULL, " + 
    KEY_QTY + " TEXT NOT NULL );"
);

There are easy to mix up. You just need the close parenthesis.

Suggestion:

String createStatement = 
    String.format("CREATE TABLE %s ( %s INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
                   AUTOINCREMENT, %s TEXT NOT NULL, 
                   %s TEXT NOT NULL);",
                        DATABASE_TABLE,
                        KEY_ITEMID,
                        KEY_ITEM,
                        KEY_QTY);

If you construct your table like this, I personally think it makes the statement much easier to read for things like SQL Syntax and then you can bind the data later.

Append ")" at the end of Create Table Query.
