Distinguish between a single click and a double click in Java
- by user552279
Hi, I search the forum and see this codes:
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getClickCount() == 2) {
System.out.println(" and it's a double click!");
wasDoubleClick = true;
} else {
Integer timerinterval = (Integer) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getDesktopProperty(
"awt.multiClickInterval");
timer = new Timer(timerinterval.intValue(), new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if (wasDoubleClick) {
wasDoubleClick = false; // reset flag
} else {
System.out.println(" and it's a simple click!");
}
}
});
timer.setRepeats(false);
timer.start();
}
}
but the code runs incorrectly(Sometime it prints out " and it's a single click!" 2 times . It should print out " and it's a double click!"). Can anybody show me why? or can you give me some better ways to do this?
Thank you!
