How to prevent the activity from loading twice on pressing the button

Question

I am trying to prevent the activity from loading twice if I press the button twice instantly after the first click.

I have an activity which loads on click of a butt

If you're using onActivityResult, you could use a variable to save state.

private Boolean activityOpenInProgress = false;

myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(View view) {
    if( activityOpenInProgress )
      return;

    activityOpenInProgress = true;
   //Load another activity with startActivityForResult with required request code
  }
});

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  if( requestCode == thatYouSentToOpenActivity ){
    activityOpenInProgress = false;
  }
}

Works on back button pressed too because request code is returned on event.
