Prevent user spamming the button while the firebase inserting data to database so that the data won't be duplicated

Question

I have this android application where the user fill up their food order and some other data, and then pressed the button so that the data will be inserted to the firebase DB and then the application will go to the menu activity again through intent.

but here's the problem, after pressing the button there will be some seconds where the user can still press the button again, so the data in the database can be duplicated. is there anyway to prevent this?

here's the insert code

Date date = new Date();
String name = edtName.getText().toString();
String note = edtNote.getText().toString();
String tableNum = noMeja;
DBOrderDataModel order = new DBOrderDataModel(name, note, tableNum, date, orderList, totalharga);
order.setOnProcess(true);
ForinFirebase DBForin = new ForinFirebase();
    
DBForin.add(order)
       .addOnSuccessListener(suc -> {
            limitPress = 1;
            Toast.makeText(this, "Pesanan Anda Berhasil Ditambahkan", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            startActivity(new Intent(PesananActivity.this, Keterangan.class));
        }).addOnFailureListener(er -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Terjadi Kesalahan Dalam Memasukkan Pesananan Anda", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        });

Did you consider [disabling the button](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4384890/how-to-disable-an-android-button) once the user clicked it? — Frank van Puffelen, Dec 13 '21 at 15:55
try to disable the button or show loading to prevent duplicate click. — Ali Babadi, Dec 13 '21 at 16:10
i tried using it, inside addOnSuccessListener, but if spam it fast enough, the data still got duplicated — Dapa, Dec 14 '21 at 02:59
