touch events firing twice

Question

I am having problems on mobile devices/tablets with the events firing twice. When I click the following function, the menu that is supposed to drop down will drop down then

Answer 1

The following worked for me which is a slight modification for @JRules answer

// lo is just a global object holder 
let lo = {
    "handled":false
}

Using delegate because objects are not loaded on original page load

$('body').delegate('.linkRow','click touchend',function(e) {  //   
    e.stopPropagation();
    if(lo.handled === false){  // check
        doSomething()                 
        lo.handled = true
    }
    setTimeout(() => {  // now set to false later (example here is 1/2 sec)
        lo.handled = false
    }, 500)
});
