Use this:

public Boolean doesRecordExist(String TableName, String ColumnName, String ColumnData) {
    String q = "Select * FROM "+TableName+" WHERE "+ColumnName+"='"+ColumnData+"';";
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(q, null);
    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Example

if (doesRecordExist("student", "name", "John") == true)
 {
 //Do Something
 } else { //Do something
 }

Modify This according to your usage:

String q = "Select * FROM "+TableName+" WHERE "+ColumnName+"='"+ColumnData+"';";
