I am querying SQLite from Android using cursor in the following way

```
Cursor searchCusor = getCursorForSearchQuery(str);

```

where str is a string. This string may contain single quote and double quotes. So when the cursor tries to search it throws an exception

```

I tried replacing the single quotes as follows

```
str.replace("'", "\' ");

```

But this didn't work out and gave the same error
