How to perform an SQLite query within an Android application?

I am trying to use this query upon my Android database, but it does not return any data. Am I missing something?

SQLiteDatabase db = mDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
    String select = "Select _id, title, title_raw from search Where(title_raw like " + "'%Smith%'" +
    ")";        
    Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, FROM, 
            select, null, null, null, null);
    startManagingCursor(cursor);
    return cursor;
Solution

  • This will return you the required cursor

    Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, new String[] {"_id", "title", "title_raw"}, 
                "title_raw like " + "'%Smith%'", null, null, null, null);
