Android: Fast button presses results in multiple instances of intent

Question

Currently I'm experiencing a bug where if the user quickly taps a button, the intent that the button is attached to will fire off multiple times, resulting in a stack of that intent that will need to be back traced through again. How can I avoid this or remedy this?

Thanks ~k

This is inside of the onClickListener. I set the boolean value here, then I unset it at the end of the process.

        if(!isDating)
        {
            intent.setClass(context, EventDate.class);
            isDating = true;
            ((TabGroupActivity)
            context).startChildActivity("EventDate",intent);
        }

Try setting the flags for the intent like

intent.setFlags(FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);

You can also set this flag via AndroidManifest.xml file in the Application section. Prefer this method over above one.

Updating launchMode using the Manifest file

Hope this resolves your issue.
