Solution 1

Change from "CREATE TABLE" to "CREATE TABLE " (that is append a blank).
(as well change "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," into " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," and "VARCHAR(255));" into " VARCHAR(255));", that is add a blank in front of the strings).

I did like as you said ie. a blank in front of strings, but not helping:
private static final String CREATE_TABLE= " CREATE TABLE" +TABLE_NAME+ "
(" +UID+ " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," +NAME+ " VARCHAR(255));";

you didn't do what I suggested. You have to put a trailing blank in the first string, that is you should write "CREATE TABLE ". The underlying reason is keywords MUST be separated from identifiers.

Thanks it works. I have same type issue with drop table too.
private static final String DROP_TABLE= "DROP TABLE " +TABLE_NAME+" IF EXISTS";

According to the documentation,
https://www.sqlite.org/lang_droptable.html
you should write
private static final String DROP_TABLE= "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_NAME;
