You are missing the selectionArgs

   public Cursor query (String table, String[] columns, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String groupBy, String having, String orderBy, String limit)

You may include ?s in selection, which will be replaced by the values from selectionArgs, in order that they appear in the selection. The values will be bound as Strings.

in your case it would be:

 Cursor cursor = myDataBase.query("emp", new String[] {"email","name"}, "name=?",new String[]{"jiten"}, null, null, null);
