Double Click OnClickListener of a Recycler View Adapter

Question

I am trying to add a simple Click View to an item of a recycler view, but for some reason I have to click on an item twice instead of once to perform an action. On single click

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, but the solution of setting focusable to false did not work in my case.

Instead, my problem was what I had set the onItemTouch listener in the activity that was holding my recycler view.

recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(...);

By removing this from my activity, my other touch listeners started to respond on single taps and not only double.

Answer 2

So I found the issue. The following two tags were the culprits here

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

When we set focusable and focusableInTouchMode = true basically it means that you are enabling a view to first focus on a touch and then be able to click.
