SQL creating Table error

Do you guys see any typo in this String? Because I had the same problem in the other table String and I solved by adding spaces between the strings combination.

private static final String CREATE_ANNOTATIONS = "CREATE TABLE " +
        ANNOTATIONS_TABLE + " (" + BaseColumns._ID +
        " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," +
        COLUMN_ANNOTATION_X + " INTEGER, " +
        COLUMN_ANNOTATION_Y + " INTEGER, " +
        COLUMN_ANNOTATION_TITLE + " TEXT, " +
        COLUMN_ANNOTATION_COLOR + " TEXT, " +
        COLUMN_FOREIGN_KEY_MEME + " INTEGER, " +
        "FOREIGN KEY(" + COLUMN_FOREIGN_KEY_MEME +
        ") REFERENCES MEMES(_ID))";

My logcat:
