How to listen to doubletap on a view in android? [duplicate]

Question

I want to detect a doubletap on a view, like for example a button, and then know which view it was. I have seen this similar question but the question they say it is a duplicate of it does not seem to answer my question.

All I can find is to add a GestureDetector to the activity, and add a OnDoubleTapListener to it. But that is only triggered if I tap on the background/layout of my screen. It is not triggered when I (double)tap a button.

This is the code I have inside my onCreate:

 gd = new GestureDetector(this, this); gd.setOnDoubleTapListener(new OnDoubleTapListener() { @Override public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) { Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onDoubleTap"); return false; } @Override public boolean onDoubleTapEvent(MotionEvent e) { Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onDoubleTapEvent"); //if the second tap hadn't been released and it's being moved if(e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) { } else if(e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)//user released the screen { } return false; } @Override public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent e) { Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onSingleTapConfirmed"); return false; } });

Perfect code on this method handle on single tap or double tap :) — NAP-Developer

You can achieve this by just using these few lines of code. It's that simple.

final GestureDetector gd = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener(){ //here is the method for double tap @Override public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) { //your action here for double tap e.g. //Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onDoubleTap"); return true; } @Override public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) { super.onLongPress(e); } @Override public boolean onDoubleTapEvent(MotionEvent e) { return true; } @Override public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) { return true; } }); //here yourView is the View on which you want to set the double tap action yourView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { return gd.onTouchEvent(event); } });

Put this piece of code on the activity or adapter where you want to set the double tap action on your view.
