Question

My app has an SQLite table with columns id, category and item_name. category is of type string. Primary key is id. I want to retrieve names of all items in category Veg then display this in list view. I tried following queries :

String vg ="Veg";
Cursor mCursor = database.query(true, DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {
           KEY_ROWID, KEY_CATEGORY, KEY_NAME,KEY_PRIZE,KEY_DESCRIPTION },
        KEY_CATEGORY + "=" + vg , null, null, null,null, null);
        if (mCursor != null) {              
                        mCursor.moveToFirst();
        }
        return mCursor;

Query:

String query = "SELECT * FROM todo WHERE category =" + vg ;
          Cursor  cursor = database.rawQuery(query,null);
            if (cursor != null) {
                cursor.moveToFirst();
            }
            return cursor;

Cursor  cursor = database.rawQuery(query,null);

        if (cursor != null) {
            cursor.moveToFirst();
        }
        return cursor;
