Java : ignore single click on double click?

Question

can anyone think of a good way to ignore the single click that comes with a double-click in Java ?

I\'m looking to have different behaviors for each such that:

Answer 1

Have you tried implementing the MouseListener interface already?

I think MouseEvent has a click count method ( or property ) to know that.

I bet you have gone through that already, so what is the problem you're facing there?

Probably what you can do is to code the time interval elapsed between a single and a double click with a thread or something.

So a single click will only be valid if another click is not issued in let's say 300 ms. ( something configurable )

The idea is:

public void listen for the single click() 
    if (  in x time there has not been another click  ) 
    then 
        we have a single click
        proceed with your single click handling
    else 
        we have a double click
       proceed with your double click handling

Or something like that.
