Intermediate Java Sprint Challenge

Instructions

Please read this entire README to make sure you understand what is expected of you before you begin.

This sprint challenge is designed to ensure that you are competent with the concepts taught throughout Sprint 7.

In your solution, it is especially important that you follow best practices such as MVC and good, consistent code style. You will be scored on these aspects as well as the project MVP (minimum viable product) requirements below.

Fork this repository and clone your fork to your computer. Create your Android Studio project in this cloned fork repository folder, then commit and create a pull request. Commit appropriately as you work. When finished, push your final project to GitHub and comment on the pull requestto indicate that your project is complete.

You have 3 hours, and you should work independently — looking things up (search, notes) is all fair game. And questions about process / logistics (i.e. if you have a hard time opening/saving to GitHub) are fair game too.

Good luck!

Requirements

Implement your own double click functionality. You will use multiple interfaces as well as the composition and delegate patterns to allow this functionality to be easily added to any view with minimal code.

You'll need the following files:

• Interfaces:
  • DoubleClickListener
    • This will be the equivalent of an onClickListener
  • DoubleClickInterface
    • This will be in charge of setting the onClickListener (includes a method called setOnClickListener)
• Classes:
  • DoubleClickHandler
    • This is where the double click logic will reside. It will implement DoubleClickInterface and have a DoubleClickListener data member
    • The constructor will need to accept a view (represents the view to be clicked)
  • DoubleClickView (Button)
    • This will extend whichever view you want to apply this feature to, I recommend starting by extending a Button view so you get the standard click animations.
    • This will also implement the DoubleClickInterface
    • Use the Composition pattern
      • Store an instance of the DoubleClickHandler class
    • Use the delegate pattern
      • Instead of adding your own implementation for the DoubleClickInterface, call the one implemented by your DoubleClickHandler member.

Tips

• For the double click to register properly, you'll need to intercept the performClick method of your custom view. You should then have a method that will spin up a thread which will wait to see if it is clicked a second time.
• My implementation has 2 flags in the Click Handler. One for if a singleClick should be processed and another if the handler is waiting for a second click. The thread that is spun up upon the first click will set the pending flag and then sleep for a set amount of time. Afterward, if the click is still pending, it will call the parent view's performClick method to execute a single click.

Finally, the logic in this project can be complex, don't get hung up on it. The most important parts are the things we've covered this week, the interfaces, the inheritance, locking shared resources. Get that done first, then figure out the rest of the logic.
