试试这个，

public String getCategory(int catId){
        Cursor mycursor = myDatabase.rawQuery("SELECT " + COLUMN_CATEGORIES  + " FROM "+ StringCategory_Table +" WHERE " + _ID + " = " + catId, null);
      if(mycursor.moveToFirst()){ //Edited based on suggestion from SAM
          String strCatName = mycursor.getString(mycursor.getColumnIndex(COLUMN_CATEGORIES));
                  return strCatName;
        } else {
        return null;
         }


        }
