How to retrieve data from sqlite database in android and display it in TextView

on button click, first open the database, fetch the data and close the data base like this

public class cytaty extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.galeria);

        Button bLosuj = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        bLosuj.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            myDatabaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(cytaty.this);
            myDatabaseHelper.openDataBase();

            String text = myDatabaseHelper.getYourData(); //this is the method to query

            myDatabaseHelper.close(); 
            // set text to your TextView
            }
        });
    }
}

and your getYourData() in database class would be like this

public String[] getAppCategoryDetail() {

    final String TABLE_NAME = "name of table";

    String selectQuery = "SELECT  * FROM " + TABLE_NAME;
    SQLiteDatabase db  = this.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor      = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
    String[] data      = null;

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
           // get the data into array, or class variable
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }
    cursor.close();
    return data;
}
