Javafx 2 click and double click

Question

I would like to know if it was possible to detect the double-click in JavaFX 2 ? and how ?

I would like to make different event between a click and a double click.

Answer 1

An alternative to single click vs. double click that I'm using is single click vs. press-and-hold (for about a quarter to a half second or so), then release the button. The technique can use a threaded abortable timer as in some of the code snippets above to distinguish between the two. Assuming that the actual event handling happens on the button release, this alternative has the advantage that single click works normally (i.e., without any delay), and for press-and-hold you can give the user some visual feedback when the button has been held long enough to be released (so there's never any ambiguity about which action was performed).
