Question

 Cursor findNormalItems = db.query("items", columns, "type=?", 
                                   new String[] { "onSale" });

I want to return the cursor that points anything that are NOT onSale, what should I change? Thanks!

From the official documentation:

The non-equals operator can be either != or <>

So your code becomes:

Cursor findNormalItems = db.query("items", columns, "type != ?", 
                                  new String[] { "onSale" });
