You have to escape the ' character or it breaks your SQL.

near "όσο": syntax error (code 1): , while compiling: select 1 from all_t where title='Ο ΦΟΒΟΣ και ο ΤΡΟΜΟΣ των διαδηλωτών!!! Αυτές οι γυναίκες είναι πιο σκληρές απ' όσο δείχνουν!'

Perhaps instead of directly manipulating strings in a rawQuery you can look into using a preparedStatement?
