protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {

    String response = "";

    response = ServiceHandler.findJSONFromUrl("url");
    data = response;
    return response;
}

public class ServiceHandler {

    // Create Http connection And find Json

    public static String findJSONFromUrl(String url) {
        String result = "";
        try {
            URL urls = new URL(url);
            HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) urls.openConnection();
            conn.setReadTimeout(150000); //milliseconds
            conn.setConnectTimeout(15000); // milliseconds
            conn.setRequestMethod("GET");

            conn.connect();

            if (conn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {

                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                        conn.getInputStream(), "iso-8859-1"), 8);
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                String line = null;
                while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line + "\n");

                }
                result = sb.toString();
            } else {

                return "error";
            }


        } catch (Exception e) {
            // System.out.println("exception in jsonparser class ........");
            e.printStackTrace();
            return "error";
        }

        return result;
    } // method ends
