How use "LIKE" and "%" to check similarity to variable in android(Java code)

I am working on Android app using Java, I need to query database in Java
code to check if userinput(variable) statement is contain words which are
in my SQLite DataBase using LIKE in query and rowQuery method in java
code,
I used this code but it did not work:
cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT shompet FROM sentence WHERE " + column + "
LIKE '%"
+ newMessage + "%'", null);
newMessage is my variable(userInput)
I read similar topics but either they are not my answer or they are so
complicated.
