Codes for Refresh button goes wrong!

So, i was able to add a button to the main list menu, but i face difficulties when i try to figure out what codes should be added but the refresh button is clicked. here is what i wrote.

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main_list, menu);
        return true;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int itemId = item.getItemId();

        if (itemId== R.id.action_refresh) {
            Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, GetBlogPostsTask.class);
            startActivity(intent2);
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

However, when i press the refresh button. The app quit.

thank you very much!

I have make some modification and now it does refresh but it brings up another mainlistactivity every single time when i press it.

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int itemId = item.getItemId();

        if (itemId== R.id.action_refresh) {
            Intent refresh = new Intent(MainListActivity.this, MainListActivity.class);
            startActivity(refresh);
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

OMG, it so simple! the answer has always been there! here is the solution:

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int itemId = item.getItemId();

        if (itemId== R.id.action_refresh) {
            mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            GetBlogPostsTask r_getBlogPostsTask = new GetBlogPostsTask();
            r_getBlogPostsTask.execute();
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
