How to check wheter there is a record satisfying some condition in a sqlite table

I have the following code

public int getIngCount(String id,String ingrediant) {
        String countQuery = "SELECT  * FROM " + TABLE_CONTACTS2 + " WHERE id = "+id+ " AND ingrediant = "+ingrediant;
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
        Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(countQuery, null);
        cursor.close();

        // return count
        return cursor.getCount();

    }

But when there is no records satisfying the condition, it causing an exception instead of returning 0.

pls help me to find a solution. Thanks in advance.
