Hi All I want add one More thing here, when I remove the thread code(Progress bar code) from this code.it is running perfectly. But I have to implement with progress bar. please help me. Thank you all.

This has been answered several time before... This is because when you change your orientation the Activity is getting created again .

To handle this use th following code in your Activity in your manifest file.

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
