I have my asyncTask run when the activity first starts, then if network connectivity is not available then i have a refresh button that tries to run the asyncTask to try again. But i get a debug error saying this..
07-29 18:14:21.290: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(9080): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 07-29 18:14:21.290: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(9080): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot execute task: the task has already been executed (a task can be executed only once) 07-29 18:14:21.290: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(9080): at android.os.AsyncTask.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.java:541) 07-29 18:14:21.290: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(9080): at android.os.AsyncTask.execute(AsyncTask.java:499) 07-29 18:14:21.290: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(9080): at com.fttech.gameIT.MainMenu$1.onClick(MainMenu.java:90) Is there anyway to run this twice?

AsyncTask instances can only be used one time.
There is a limit of how many tasks can be run simultaneously. Since AsyncTask uses a thread pool executor with limited max number of worker threads (128) and the delayed tasks queue has fixed size 10, if you try to execute more than 138 your custom tasks the app will crash with java.
If you start an AsyncTask inside an Activity and you rotate the device, the Activity will be destroyed and a new instance will be created. But the AsyncTask will not die. It will go on living until it completes. And when it completes, the AsyncTask won't update the UI of the new Activity.
Alternative 1: Using Executor and Handler The executor will help in performing any task in the background and the handler will help to make UI changes.
Just create another instance and execute it.

Just like threads, AsyncTasks can't be reused. You have to create a new instance every time you want to run one.
