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.

Answer 1

I think the reason of these double/multiple clicks are malfunctioning hardware accelerations, I'm experiencing simultaneous clicks + propagation's, propagation's are easy to prevent, however since third argument of addEventListener isn't respected in my case, I can't prevent double click even with the previously answered code, here is what I ended up using

function cw(event) // click wall
{ try {
    click_time_cw = (new Date()).getTime();
    if (click_time_cw && (click_time_cw - last_click_time_cw) < 350) {
        event.stopImmediatePropagation();
        event.preventDefault();
        add_log('prevented misclick [CW] '+(click_time_cw - last_click_time_cw));
        return true;
    }
    last_click_time_cw = click_time_cw;
    event.stopImmediatePropagation();
    event.stopPropagation();
    return false;
} catch(e){ add_alert(e,"stpr"); } }

you also have to initialize last_click_time_cw=(new Date()).getTime() somewhere

this is an example onclick:

it might seem like a lot of work and an unpleasant/ugly fix, but click problems have been haunting me for months, it seems like this is what I should've done from the begining
