Why is listview that uses loaders empty with fts3 table on Android?

Basically my listview that uses a CursorLoader to load data was displaying fine with my normal table, but once I converted my table to fts3 (to use MATCH for searching) it stopped displaying data.

Table declaration:

 public static final String NOTES_SCHEMA="CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE "+TABLE_NAME+" USING fts3("+
            "_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY"+COMMA+NOTE_TITLE+" TEXT"+COMMA+NOTE_TEXT+" TEXT"+COMMA+TRASH_STATUS+" INTEGER DEFAULT 0"+COMMA+TIME+" INTEGER"+");";

onCreateCursorLoader:

case LOADER_NOTELIST_ID:
           String[] projection = new String[]{NotesModel.NotesTable._ID, NotesModel.NotesTable.NOTE_TITLE, NotesModel.NotesTable.NOTE_TEXT,NotesModel.NotesTable.TIME,NotesModel.NotesTable.TRASH_STATUS};
            String sortOrder = NotesModel.NotesTable.TIME+ " DESC";
            String where = NotesModel.NotesTable.TRASH_STATUS+"=0";
            CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(getApplicationContext().getApplicationContext(), uri, projection, where, null , sortOrder
            );

            return cursorLoader;

I also noticed when I removed the where argument, it worked (but i need that argument).

Content Provider:

 public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {

    SQLiteQueryBuilder qb = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
    Cursor cursor;

    switch (uriMatcher.match(uri)) {
        case NOTES_LIST://display the whole list, for main activity
            qb.setTables(NotesModel.NotesTable.TABLE_NAME);//set table to be queried
           break;

        case NOTES_ITEM:
            qb.setTables(NotesModel.NotesTable.TABLE_NAME);
            qb.appendWhere(NotesModel.NotesTable._ID + " = "+ uri.getLastPathSegment());
            break;

        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid URI: " + uri);
    }

    cursor = qb.query(db,projection,selection,selectionArgs,null,null,sortOrder);
    cursor.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);//observer for loader
    return cursor;
}

Any comments or solutions would highly be appreciated.
