Java : detect triple-click without firing double-click

Question

I have a JTable in which I want to call a function when a cell is double-clicked and call another function when the cell is triple-clicked.

When the cell is triple-c

Answer 1

Here is what i have done to achieve this, this actually worked fine for me. A delay is necessary to detect the type of click. You can choose it. The following delays if a triple click can be happened within 400ms. You can decrease it to the extent till a consecutive click is not possible. If you are only worrying about the delay, then this is a highly negligible delay which must be essential to carry this out.

Here flag and t1 are global variables.

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
int count=e.getClickCount();
                    if(count==3)
                    {
                        flag=true;
                        System.out.println("Triple click");
                    }
                    else if(count==2)
                    {
                        try
                        {
                        t1=new Timer(1,new ActionListener(){
                            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
                            {
                                if(!flag)
                                System.out.println("Double click");
                                flag=false;
                                t1.stop();
                            }
                        });
                        t1.setInitialDelay(400);
                        t1.start();
                        }catch(Exception ex){}
                    }
}
