SQLiteDatabase unable to find String

Question

I am doing some very beginner database programming on an android device. In the following code, I am attempting to query a database with some filters. If I choose to filter based on the ID of the row, then it returns correctly, but if instead I filter by a different column, I am unable to find any entries into the database. Can anyone spot what sort of error I have made?

*Note, I have put comments over the specific section I am asking about.

You need to quote String literals:

cursor = db.query(
            TABLE_NAME,
            new String[]{TABLE_COLUMN_ID, TABLE_COLUMN_ONE, TABLE_COLUMN_TWO},
            TABLE_COLUMN_ONE + "=" + "'teharris'", null, null, null, null
);
