Hi,
I wanted to show a block called 'Recent View', Recently viewed Nodes to online user's.
I tried this using views, but don't know how to filter according to the current online user.

How can i do this?

I added a Filter called User: Current it says (Filter the view to the currently logged in user.)

After doing this, Block is getting disappeared for the logged in users.

I am suggesting you a solution with understanding that you wanna display recently viewed nodes to logged in users.
I am not sure if any views plugin/filter is available for this.
But you can refer to history table in Drupal installation.
If you can write some code, you can do without views.

Regards.

If you wanna print the output as a block, first, you have to create a custom module.
Then code in hook_block().
You can refer to hook_block() at http://api.drupal.org

I've just writen a how-to article about how you can use combination of existing modules to accomplish this task.

1) A per-user flag to mark nodes as user's browsing away.
2) Rules module to automate the process and re-flag the node each time it's viewed.
3) Views to display the list itself in the form of page or block.
