                    .until(new Function() {

                    @Override
                    public Object apply(Object arg0) {
                        WebElement e = driver.findelement(By.xpath(locatorKey));
                        Actions action = new Actions(driver);
                        action.moveToElement(e).doubleClick().perform();
                        return true;
                    }
                });
