android async task executing api's repeteadly - android-asynctask

Question

I am using Android Async Task function to execute an api using urlconnection. this api in turn sends emails to selected users.Now the issue is I am getting spammed by these emails at first I thought of it as an server side issue or my script but I created a new api and used it on IOS version of my application and everything works fine.But when I execute it on android I start getting spams,so I think the Issue lies in my android programming.
public class submitparse extends AsyncTask<String ,String,String> {
String Url;
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
URL phonelink;
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
try {
phonelink = new URL(params[0]);
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) phonelink
.openConnection();
urlConnection.connect();
InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isw = new InputStreamReader(in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isw);
String line = "";
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
buffer.append(line);
}
String finalresult = buffer.toString();
return finalresult;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
urlConnection.disconnect();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //If you want further info on failure...
}
}
return null;
}
I am using this command to call it..
submit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String link = "";
new submitparse().execute(link);
}
});
On getting result I start another activity,where link is a string containing url.

If you don't care, you can also use just a new Thread. That should fit your needs and works fine. As far as I read, you don't need to use an AsyncTask and therefore IMO a normal Thread would be better.
// Runnable uiThreadRunnable = new Runnable.....
Handler handler = new Handler(); // import android.os.Handler
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// do your stuff
// use 'handler.post(uiThreadRunnable);' to if you NEED to run something on main thread
}
};
Thread thread = new Thread(runnable);
thread.start();
