Click, Doble click and Hold Button

Question

i have a little question. How can i implement click, doble click and hold in a Button. I really need add this functions to my button. I have AndroidStudio 2,3,3. Thanks you!!

Answer 1

Your activity has to implement the following interfaces: View.OnClickListener, View.OnLongClickListener.

When you have your ButtonId defined like this: android:id="@+id/button":

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    switch(v.getId()) {
        case R.id.button: //what should happen when the button is pressed
            break;
    }
}

You also have to set the Listeners in onCreate:

setOnClickListener(this);
setOnLongClickListener(this);

The code for onLongClick looks exactly the same.

Double Tap is a bit more complicated, here you can find how to implement double tap.

Answer 2

button.setOnLongClickListener and button.setOnClickListener should do the trick for long and single clicks respectively.

For double tap here's what I do in the setOnClickListener.

boolean click=false;

    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
    if(click==true)
    //DO SOMETHING 
     new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
        public void run(){
              click=true;
        }, 1000};
    });
