Actually the reason was.

first time when i load record it get gps location on the spot. sometimes when i come to this activity gps take time to obtain location and my code is passed and nothing is appeared.

so problem is if location is not obtained intime then i should wait for it and display as we get it.

so i implemented RunOnFirstFix() to get rid of this issue. and another most important thing use Mapview.postInvalidate() to display it on mapview.

so if we follow this step we wont be having MyLocationOverlay disappear problem.

code sample onCreate()
{

// new line
myLocOverlay.runOnFirstFix(showCurrentLocationIfObtainedLate );

}


Runnable showCurrentLocationIfObtainedLate = new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {



                if(myLocOverlay.getMyLocation() != null)
                {
                mapView.getController().animateTo(myLocOverlay.getMyLocation());
                    mapView.postInvalidate();
                }



            }
        };

If you are calling finish() method while calling intent (means your other page) then you are destroying all the values in your page and moving towards new page.

example Activity A Activity B

moving from Activity A to Activity B

Intent intent = new Intent();

intent.setclass(...);

startActivity(intent);

coming back to Activity A

just call finish() on Activity B
