Android Preventing Double Click On A Spinner

Question

I have an unwanted problem by default in spinner view.

On Android 2.2 when I double click any spinner it opens twice, Upon pressing the back button the 2nd spinner closes but 1st one remains open.

I need a fix for this issue.

I only want the spinner to show once regardless of how many times the user clicks it.

This problem doesn't exist in Android 4.0+.

Is there a way to fix this bug?

i don't understand why are you double clicking the spinner?? — Muhammad Babar, May 09 '13 at 12:07
@MuhammadBabar buddy none wants to double click but sometimes it happens by newby in android or by mistake. — Varun Vishnoi, May 09 '13 at 12:10
You don't worry about the things which are the part of framework. — Muhammad Babar, May 09 '13 at 12:11
@MuhammadBabar if somebody needs to fix them... Its a client requirement. — Varun Vishnoi, May 09 '13 at 12:13
You can simply set `onClickListener()` on your **Spinner**, in `onClick(View v)` do `mSpinner.setClickable(false)` and in `onItemSelected()` and `onBackPressed()` do `mSpinner.setClickable(true)` — Muhammad Babar, May 09 '13 at 12:47

You can use setEnabled(false) when user click on item first time to prevent further interaction, and make setEnabled(true) when you need.

Implemented with this but double click is so fast thats why it doesnt work. – Varun Vishnoi May 09 '13 at 12:00

Then the only way you can do this, by setting onTouchListener – Dmytro Danylyk May 09 '13 at 14:32

You can use something like this,

Possibly in your onClick();

view.setEnabled(false);

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
view.setEnabled(true);
}
}, TIME_IN_MS);
