reading touching screen

[kirtan]

I am using 4 wire resistive type touch screen interfaced with microcontroller (ATMega).

I have designed the program according to the required algorithm, y+ 5V y- 0v, read x- and then x+ 5V, x- 0V and read y-.

When i ready only x value it gives me correct answer, when i read the y value it also gives me correct value but when i try to read x and y in sequence then i get correct value of y but not of x. x almost remains constant.

Part of the code is shown below
/* par of main function*///////////////
while(1)
{
x_value = read_x();
lcd_command(0x82);
disp_lcd(x_value);
delay_ms(20);

y_value = read_y();
lcd_command(0xC2);
disp_lcd(y_value);

delay_ms(200);
}

clearbit(PORTA,x_m); //set as 0 0V

ADC_value = read_ADC(y_m);

return ADC_value;
