If you wish to use query() instead of rawQuery(), you can do it like so:

// searchString is the string to search for
final String whereClause = "MyColumnName" + " like ?";
String[] whereArgs = new String[]{"%" + searchString + "%"};

Cursor cursor = sqLiteDatabase.query("MyTableName",
        null, // columns
        whereClause, // selection
        whereArgs, // selectionArgs
        null, // groupBy
        null, // having
        null, // orderBy
        null); // limit
