Question

I have a problem with my app that if the user clicks the button multiple times quickly, then multiple events are generated before even my dialog holding the button disappear

Based on @GreyBeardedGeek answer,

• Create debounceClick_last_Timestamp on ids.xml to tag previous click timestamp.

• Add This block of code into BaseActivity

  protected void debounceClick(View clickedView, DebouncedClick callback){
      debounceClick(clickedView,1000,callback);
  }
  
  protected void debounceClick(View clickedView,long minimumInterval, DebouncedClick callback){
      Long previousClickTimestamp = (Long) clickedView.getTag(R.id.debounceClick_last_Timestamp);
      long currentTimestamp = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
      clickedView.setTag(R.id.debounceClick_last_Timestamp, currentTimestamp);
      if(previousClickTimestamp == null 
            || Math.abs(currentTimestamp - previousClickTimestamp) > minimumInterval) {
          callback.onClick(clickedView);
      }
  }
  
  public interface DebouncedClick{
      void onClick(View view);
  }
  

• Usage:

  view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
          debounceClick(v, 3000, new DebouncedClick() {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View view) {
                  doStuff(view); // Put your's click logic on doStuff function
              }
          });
      }
  });
  

• Using lambda

  view.setOnClickListener(v -> debounceClick(v, 3000, this::doStuff));
