I’m having a problem with my activity intent launcher. It seems that when I run this code

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                intent.setClass(this, contentScreen.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();

in my autoGO method, it runs two activities, and I know this as my logcat tells me this:

11-03 11:16:16.542: INFO/ActivityManager(58): Displayed activity three.three/.contentScreen: 2030 ms (total 3391 ms)
11-03 11:16:16.713: INFO/ActivityManager(58): Displayed activity three.three/.contentScreen: 1596 ms (total 1596 ms)

My flow is basically on this activity if a particular value in the database is true, it will automatically run autoGO which in autoGO starts a new intent and takes me to that class. However it would seem somewhere I am starting two activities. As a result I have two activities of the same type open, but this is unwanted. What could be the reason for this?

Here is the autoGO method:

public void autoGO(View arg1) throws IOException,
XmlPullParserException {

    EditText username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.widget40);
    EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.widget37);

    SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
    //gainString(remembered);
    setUserPass();
    System.out.println(Compare[1]);
    System.out.println(Compare[2]);
    request.addProperty("User", Compare[1]);
    request.addProperty("Password", Compare[2]);
    autoSign = false;
    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
            SoapEnvelope.VER11);
    envelope.dotNet = true;
    envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
    AndroidHttpTransport httpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);
    httpTransport.debug = true;
    httpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope); // send request
    SoapObject result = (SoapObject) envelope.getResponse(); // get
    System.out.println(result);

    int Conversion = Integer.parseInt(result.getProperty(0).toString());
    System.out.println(Conversion);
    if (Conversion > 0) {

        try{

            sqlDB=openOrCreateDatabase(DBNAME1,Context.MODE_PRIVATE,null);
            System.out.println("open or create database");
            //sqlDB.execSQL("UPDATE " + Table1 + " SET NAME = '" + sUserName + "' WHERE NAME = '" + remembered[1] + "'");
            System.out.println("URL updated");
            //sqlDB.execSQL("UPDATE " + Table1 + " SET PASSWORD = '" + sPassword + "' WHERE PASSWORD = '" + remembered[2]+ "'");
            sqlDB.execSQL("UPDATE " + Table1 + " SET URL = '" + "http://" + result.getProperty(2).toString()+ "'");
            System.out.println("HERE IS THE NEW URL " + "http://" + result.getProperty(2).toString());

            contentScreen co = new contentScreen();
            co.signAuto(true);

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                intent.setClass(this, contentScreen.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();
        }


             catch (Exception e1) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                 System.out.println("Problem "+ e1.getMessage());
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
            finally
            {
                sqlDB.close();

            }

    } else {
        username.setTextSize(10);
        username.setText("Invalid username or passcode!");
