Android Preventing Double Click On A Button

Disable the button with setEnabled(false) until it is safe for the user to click it again.


My solution is

package com.shuai.view;

import android.os.SystemClock;
import android.view.View;

/**
 * 处理快速在某个控件上双击2次(或多次)会导致onClick被触发2次(或多次)的问题
 * 通过判断2次click事件的时间间隔进行过滤
 * 
 * 子类通过实现{@link #onSingleClick}响应click事件
 */
public abstract class OnSingleClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
    /**
     * 最短click事件的时间间隔
     */
    private static final long MIN_CLICK_INTERVAL=600;
    /**
     * 上次click的时间
     */
    private long mLastClickTime;

    /**
     * click响应函数
     * @param v The view that was clicked.
     */
    public abstract void onSingleClick(View v);

    @Override
    public final void onClick(View v) {
        long currentClickTime=SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        long elapsedTime=currentClickTime-mLastClickTime;
        //有可能2次连击,也有可能3连击,保证mLastClickTime记录的总是上次click的时间
        mLastClickTime=currentClickTime;

        if(elapsedTime<=MIN_CLICK_INTERVAL)
            return;

        onSingleClick(v);        
    }

}

Usage is similar as OnClickListener but override onSingleClick() instead:

mTextView.setOnClickListener(new OnSingleClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSingleClick(View v) {
                if (DEBUG)
                    Log.i("TAG", "onclick!");
            }
     };

Disabling the button or setting unclickable is not enough if you are doing computationally intensive work in onClick() since click events can get queued up before the button can be disabled. I wrote an abstract base class that implements OnClickListener that you can override instead, that fixes this problem by ignoring any queued up clicks:

/** 
 * This class allows a single click and prevents multiple clicks on
 * the same button in rapid succession. Setting unclickable is not enough
 * because click events may still be queued up.
 * 
 * Override onOneClick() to handle single clicks. Call reset() when you want to
 * accept another click.
 */
public abstract class OnOneOffClickListener implements OnClickListener {
    private boolean clickable = true;

    /**
     * Override onOneClick() instead.
     */
    @Override
    public final void onClick(View v) {
        if (clickable) {
            clickable = false;
            onOneClick(v);
            //reset(); // uncomment this line to reset automatically
        }
    }

    /**
     * Override this function to handle clicks.
     * reset() must be called after each click for this function to be called
     * again.
     * @param v
     */
    public abstract void onOneClick(View v);

    /**
     * Allows another click.
     */
    public void reset() {
        clickable = true;
    }
}

Usage is same as OnClickListener but override OnOneClick() instead:

OnOneOffClickListener clickListener = new OnOneOffClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onOneClick(View v) {

        // Do stuff

        this.reset(); // or you can reset somewhere else with clickListener.reset();
    }
};
myButton.setOnClickListener(clickListener);

saving a last click time when clicking will prevent this problem.

i.e.

private long mLastClickTime = 0;

...

// inside onCreate or so:

findViewById(R.id.button).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // mis-clicking prevention, using threshold of 1000 ms
        if (SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - mLastClickTime < 1000){
            return;
        }
        mLastClickTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();

        // do your magic here
    }
}
