Thank you Mark, I didn't actually see that. Turns out I was calling svrClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); where svrClient is a HTTPDefaultClient object.
What gets me is that I can call the method that this resides in from two seperate activities and not recieve this error, but call it twice from the same activity and it throws the error. This why I thought it was my AsyncTask. I have now commented out the shutdown() call and it seems to work fine without. Just now need to work out how to clear the underlying listview :) Regards Anthoni On Apr 10, 6:46 pm, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Anthoni wrote: > > I think it is because I am trying to call AsyncTask again.
