SQLiteException: near "references": syntax error: CREATE TABLE
references(_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,class TEXT,requestCode...

Please, I am really a novice of SQLite.
I do not understand why I this error.
This, I suppose, is the culprit, when the SQLiteOpenHelper tries to create
the table
public class PendingiIntentsDatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
// Database Name
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "pendingintents";
// Contacts table name
private static final String TABLE_REFERENCES = "references";
// Contacts Table Columns names
private static final String KEY_CLASS = "class";
private static final String KEY_REQUESTCODE = "requestCode";
public PendingiIntentsDatabaseHandler(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
// Creating Tables
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
String CREATE_EVENTS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_REFERENCES + "("
+ "_id" + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,"
+ KEY_CLASS + " TEXT,"
+ KEY_REQUESTCODE + " TEXT"
+
")";
db.execSQL(CREATE_EVENTS_TABLE);
}
this is the LogCat:
