doubletap event

in jQuery Mobile • 8 years ago

Hi all,

I am working on a project which requires me to use jQuery mobile and phonegap. I wanted to handle a double tap event but surprisingly it isn't present by default in jQuery mobile. There is a plugin for handling doubletap in iPad and iPhone but unfortunately I am working on android and that plugin doesn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can do something like this:

The plugin:

(function($) {
$.fn.doubleTap = function(doubleTapCallback) {
return this.each(function(){
var elm = this;
var lastTap = 0;
$(elm).bind('vmousedown', function (e) {
var now = (new Date()).valueOf();
var diff = (now - lastTap);
lastTap = now ;
if (diff < 250) {
if($.isFunction( doubleTapCallback ))
{
doubleTapCallback.call(elm);
}
}
});
});
}
})(jQuery);

And to use it something like this:

// put class="doubleTap" on the elements you need to double tap
$(".doubleTap").doubleTap(function(){
// 'this' is the element that was double tap
});

Note: the 250 milli diff (in line 10) is just a magic numer who seems to work.

You may need to play with this number to get the best behavior

Override dblclick event and use bind, live, on, delegate like for any other event:

jQuery.event.special.dblclick = {
setup: function(data, namespaces) {
var elem = this,
$elem = jQuery(elem);
$elem.bind('touchend.dblclick', jQuery.event.special.dblclick.handler);
},
teardown: function(namespaces) {
var elem = this,
$elem = jQuery(elem);
$elem.unbind('touchend.dblclick');
},
handler: function(event) {
var elem = event.target,
$elem = jQuery(elem),
lastTouch = $elem.data('lastTouch') || 0,
now = new Date().getTime();
var delta = now - lastTouch;
if(delta > 20 && delta<500){
$elem.data('lastTouch', 0);
$elem.trigger('dblclick');
}else
$elem.data('lastTouch', now);
}
};

I've made a special event extension that handles both tap and double-tap:
