int i = 0; btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub i++; Handler handler = new Handler(); Runnable r = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { i = 0; } }; if (i == 1) { //Single click handler.postDelayed(r, 250); } else if (i == 2) { //Double click i = 0; ShowDailog(); } } }); 

private long lastTouchTime = 0; private long currentTouchTime = 0; 

..

 @Override public void onClick(View view) { lastTouchTime = currentTouchTime; currentTouchTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); if (currentTouchTime - lastTouchTime < 250) { Log.d("Duble","Click"); lastTouchTime = 0; currentTouchTime = 0; } } 

This is probably a good place to start:

Android: How to detect double-tap?

I recommend switching to a more native way like long press (answer to linked question) or something more creative (using multi-touch), unless you are bent on the Windows default double-click way of doing things?

You may have a valid reason though - double clicking is after all faster than long press.

I wrote this for popping up a Toast message on a double click in a mapping application:

private long lastTouchTime = -1; @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e, MapView mapView) { GeoPoint p = null; if (e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { long thisTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); if (thisTime - lastTouchTime < 250) { // Double click p = mapView.getProjection().fromPixels((int) e.getX(), (int) e.getY()); lastTouchTime = -1; } else { // too slow lastTouchTime = thisTime; } } if (p != null) { showClickedLocation(p);// Raise a Toast } return false; } 

I used it and worked:

public class DoubleClickTest extends Activity { String TAG = "DoubleOrSingleClickTest"; private boolean waitDouble = true; private static final int DOUBLE_CLICK_TIME = 350; // double click timer @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.double_click_test); Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonDoubleOrSingleClicked); button.setOnClickListener(listenerDoubleOrSingle); } View.OnClickListener listenerDoubleOrSingle = new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (waitDouble == true) { waitDouble = false; Thread thread = new Thread() { @Override public void run() { try { sleep(DOUBLE_CLICK_TIME); if (waitDouble == false) { waitDouble = true; singleClick(); } } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }; thread.start(); } else { waitDouble = true; doubleClick(); } } }; // single event private void singleClick() { Log.i(TAG, "singleClick"); } // double event private void doubleClick() { Log.i(TAG, "doubleClick"); } }

Create your own DoubleTapListener

You can create a DoubleTapListener by inheriting View.OnClickListener and adding a Callback of your listener.

MyDoubleClickListener.class

public class MyDoubleClickListener implements View.OnClickListener{ private boolean isRunning= false; private int resetInTime =500; private int counter=0; private DoubleClickCallback listener; public DoubleTapListener(Context context) { listener = (DoubleClickCallback)context; } @Override public void onClick(View v) { if(isRunning) { if(counter==1) //<-- makes sure that the callback is triggered on double click listener.onDoubleClick(v); } counter++; if(!isRunning) { isRunning=true; new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { try { Thread.sleep(resetInTime); isRunning = false; counter=0; } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }).start(); } } } 

DoubleClickCallback.class

public interface DoubleClickCallback { public void onDoubleClick(View v); } 

And you are done. You can use this Listener in any Activity.

How do I use this DoubleClickListener in my Activity?

Implement Callback in your activity and override the method.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MyDoubleClickListener{ private Button button; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button); button.setOnClickListener(new DoubleTapListener(this)); //<-- Set listener } @Override public void onDoubleClick(View v) { // Toast to show double click } } 

Important point is using this concept you can create any kind of listener (Triple-click listener)
