LibGdx double tap

Question

I want to detect double taps in libgdx using the tap method of the GestureDetector. GestureListener class. I searched the Web for the last two days but I couldn't find an example of how to do it. I know that the method has a "count" variable but I don't know how to use it. Thanks in advance.

It's not specifically geared toward LibGDX, but it does answer your question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2217670/android-how-to-detect-double-tap — fantasitcalbeast, Nov 14 '14 at 16:46

I believe that the accepted answer doesn't provide enough details, so here is a small code snippet with implementation:

public class DoubleTapDetector extends GestureDetector.GestureAdapter {

    @Override
    public boolean tap(float x, float y, int count, int button) {
        if (count == 2) {
            System.out.println("Double tap!");
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

There is an example of usage of GestureDetector with multiple tapping detection in one of libGDX's tests: GestureDetectorTest.java.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. It works well now. I changed the code a bit because I am currently not working worth cameras and I separated the Controller class from the main class to make it cleaner. This was my first question on stackoverflow and I am positively surprised by the fast answers. I'll definitely recommend this site to others. – Android Thoughts Nov 14 '14 at 20:15
