you cannot return anydata in your getLink() method. Use your code as

String shortenURL  = ""; // activity global variable



public void getLink() {
        JsonObjectRequest jsObjRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null, new Response.Listener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        shortenURL = response.getString("url");
                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    }
                });

                queue.add(jsObjRequest);

}
