I have designed an action bar for my Android app. In this action bar there's a button that launches a Dialog Activity used to configure my app's behavior. If I double click this button fast enough, I'm able to order the Dialog Activity to be launched twice before it actually appears, and then it appears duplicated and visually overlapped and I don't want this. I tried to create some sort of lock-down mechanism but it is not working because my Dialog Activity is launched only after all the code in my Main Activity calling method (onOptionsItemSelected) is executed. Is there a way to avoid this form happening?
My code is:
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
//ensure only one element from the option menu is launched at once (if you double click fast you could launch two)
Log.e("test", "onOptionsItemSelected ");
if(optionItemAlreadySelected == false)
{
optionItemAlreadySelected = true;
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_sound_mode) {
//item.setVisible(false);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SoundConfigurationActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
optionItemAlreadySelected = false; //this code is executed before the activity is started!!!
return true;
}
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Is there a way to know when the Dialog Activity has already being closed and lock the opportunity to open it once again until then.
