How can I create a Single Click Event and Double Click Event when the Menu Button is pressed?

I want to be able to detect a single click or a double click when the menu button is pressed. If a single click is detected one even will happen, if a double click is detected a different event will happen. Here is what I've tried(Using toast in place of events):

private static final long DOUBLE_PRESS_INTERVAL = 250; // in millis
private long lastPressTime;

@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {    

    // Get current time in nano seconds.
    long pressTime = System.currentTimeMillis();


    // If double click...
    if (pressTime - lastPressTime <= DOUBLE_PRESS_INTERVAL) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Double Click Event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return true;
    }

    // If not double click....
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Single Click Event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    // record the last time the menu button was pressed.
    lastPressTime = pressTime;      
    return true;
}

The problem is that a single click event is detected every time before a double click eve开发者_运维问答nt.

Simple logic mistake. You are returning before recording the new lastPressTime. You should only have one return call if they are both returning the same thing:

boolean mHasDoubleClicked = false;

    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {    

        // Get current time in nano seconds.
        long pressTime = System.currentTimeMillis();


        // If double click...
        if (pressTime - lastPressTime <= DOUBLE_PRESS_INTERVAL) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Double Click Event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            mHasDoubleClicked = true;
        }
        else {     // If not double click....
            mHasDoubleClicked = false;
            Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
                 public void handleMessage(Message m) {
                      if (!mHasDoubleClicked) {
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Single Click Event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                      }
                 }
            };
            Message m = new Message();
            myHandler.sendMessageDelayed(m,DOUBLE_PRESS_INTERVAL);
        }
        // record the last time the menu button was pressed.
        lastPressTime = pressTime;      
        return true;
    }

I modified this code to detect hold events (long clicks) as well as short and double clicks. It works by delaying detection of a short click until an ACTION_UP event, where the event has not already been handled (clickHandled == false).

Provide your own methods for onShortClick(), onLongClick() and and onDoubleClick().

private long thisTouchTime;
private long previousTouchTime = 0;
private long buttonHeldTime;
private boolean clickHandled = false;
private long DOUBLE_CLICK_INTERVAL = ViewConfiguration.getDoubleTapTimeout();
private long LONG_HOLD_TIMEOUT = ViewConfiguration.getLongPressTimeout();

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, final MotionEvent event) {
    switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            thisTouchTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            if (thisTouchTime - previousTouchTime <= DOUBLE_CLICK_INTERVAL) {
                // double click detected
                clickHandled = true;
                onDoubleClick(event);
            } else {
                // defer event handling until later
                clickHandled = false;
            }
            previousTouchTime = thisTouchTime;
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            if (!clickHandled) {
                buttonHeldTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - thisTouchTime;
                if (buttonHeldTime > LONG_HOLD_TIMEOUT) {
                    clickHandled = true;
                    onLongClick(event);
                } else {
                    Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
                        public void handleMessage(Message m) {
                            if (!clickHandled) {
                                clickHandled = true;
                                onShortClick(event);
                            }
                        }
                    };
                    Message m = new Message();
                    myHandler.sendMessageDelayed(m, DOUBLE_CLICK_INTERVAL);
                }
            }
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            myParams.x = initialDrawX + (int) (event.getRawX() - initialTouchX);
            myParams.y = initialDrawY + (int) (event.getRawY() - initialTouchY);
            windowManager.updateViewLayout(v, myParams);
            break;
    }
    return false;
