How to listen to doubletap on a view in android? [duplicate]

Question

I want to detect a doubletap on a view, like for example a button, and then know which view it was. I have seen this similar question but the question they say it is a duplicate of it does not seem to answer my question.

All I can find is to add a GestureDetector to the activity, and add a OnDoubleTapListener to it. But that is only triggered if I tap on the background/layout of my screen. It is not triggered when I (double)tap a button.

This is the code I have inside my onCreate:

    gd = new GestureDetector(this, this);       gd.setOnDoubleTapListener(new OnDoubleTapListener()       {           @Override           public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e)           {               Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onDoubleTap");             return false;           }            @Override           public boolean onDoubleTapEvent(MotionEvent e)           {               Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onDoubleTapEvent");             //if the second tap hadn't been released and it's being moved               if(e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)               {                }               else if(e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)//user released the screen               {                }               return false;           }            @Override           public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent e)           {               Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onSingleTapConfirmed");             return false;           }       });

You can achieve this by just using these few lines of codes. It's that simple.

final GestureDetector gd = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener(){          //here is the method for double tap           @Override         public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) {              //your action here for double tap e.g.             //Log.d("OnDoubleTapListener", "onDoubleTap");              return true;         }          @Override         public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {             super.onLongPress(e);          }          @Override         public boolean onDoubleTapEvent(MotionEvent e) {             return true;         }          @Override         public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {             return true;         }       });  //here yourView is the View on which you want to set the double tap action  yourView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {         @Override         public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {              return gd.onTouchEvent(event);         }     }); 

Put this piece of code on the activity or adapter where you want to set the double tap action on your view.
