Java : detect triple-click without firing double-click

Question

I have a JTable in which I want to call a function when a cell is double-clicked and call another function when the cell is triple-clicked.

When the cell is triple-c

Answer 1

There's a tutorial for this here

Edit: It fires click events individually though, so you would get: Single Click THEN Double Click THEN Triple Click. So you would still have to do some timing trickery.

The code is:

import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {

    JTextField component = new JTextField();
    component.addMouseListener(new MyMouseListener());
    JFrame f = new JFrame();

    f.add(component);
    f.setSize(300, 300);
    f.setVisible(true);

    component.addMouseListener(new MyMouseListener());
  }
}

class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter {
  public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) {
    if (evt.getClickCount() == 3) {
      System.out.println("triple-click");
    } else if (evt.getClickCount() == 2) {
      System.out.println("double-click");
    }
  }
}
