    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);

}

@Override

    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_refresh) {
        new JSONTask().execute("some_url");
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

}

Could someone please help.

Extract this line

List<ContactModel> contactModelList = new ArrayList<>();

before the try block and instead of return null; use return contactModelList;

Looks like your parsing fails and you pass a null object to onPostExecute().
