Phonegap 2.4.0 with Android 4.2 - strange double click behaviour

Question

I\'m using phonegap 2.4.0 to create an Android and iOS App.

Now I recognized that the onclick event in links is fired twice inside the Android App using Android 4.2.

I handled my similar situation very closely to Soulwax's solution, however I didn't want to hinder fast clicks by the user by keeping track of time intervals. Instead, I simply track the event type in the link's data object and if it's trying to handle a click immediately after a touchstart I ignore that call.

$('.link').on('touchstart click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();

  //Prevent against handling a click immediately after touchstart.
  if(e.type == "click" && $(this).data("lastTouch") == "touchstart"){
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    return false;
  }
  $(this).data("lastTouch", e.type);

  $('.nav-bar').toggleClass('active');
});
