How to disable button for 1 sec after clicked in Android?

Question

I am using following code for using a button. I works.(sendBtn is a button in a fragment)

sendText = view.findViewById(R.id.send_text);
    View sendBtn = view.findViewById(R.id.send_btn);
        sendBtn.setOnClickListener(v -> send(sendText.getText().toString()));

Now i want to disable the button for 1 sec after a click

I found following solution but above code works "without onClick(View v)"method and without implementing View.OnClickListener in class. How to provide delay in such case..How code is working without onClick method.

   @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        ((Button) findViewById(R.id.click)).setEnabled(false);

        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                ((Button) findViewById(R.id.click))
                    .setEnabled(true);

            }
        }, 1000);

    }
});

What you need is some kind of SingleClickListener with an subsequent click interval . [Here it is](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5608720/android-preventing-double-click-on-a-button). — ADM, Jul 30 '21 at 06:38

Use this method when you want to interrupt user clicks:

private static long mLastClickTime = 0L;

public static boolean isOpenRecently() {
    if (SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - mLastClickTime < 1000) {
        return true;
    }
    mLastClickTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
    return false;
}

Usage:

if (v.getId() == R.id.sendBtn) {
        if (isOpenRecently()) return;
        // Your logic
    }

Basically you are using lambda in your code, where v->{} represents the onCLick(View v) function.

sendBtn.setOnClickListener(v -> send(sendText.getText().toString()));

You can do the following to disable the button for 1 second

 void doOnSendButtonClick(View v){
    //Send the message (your logic here)
    send(sendText.getText().toString());

    //Disable button
    sendBtn.setEnabled(false);

    //enable button after 1000 millisecond
    new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(() -> {
        sendBtn.setEnabled(true);
    }, 1000);
}

And call this method when user clicks on the button

sendButton.setOnClickListener(view -> doOnSendButtonClick(view));

You could use a CountDownTimer.

CountDownTimewr timer = new CountDownTimer(1000, 1000) {

    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
    }

    public void onFinish() {
        // enable button
        ((Button) findViewById(R.id.click)).setEnabled(true);
    }
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
        // disable btn and start timer of one second in millis
        ((Button) findViewById(R.id.click)).setEnabled(false);
        timer.start();
    }
});

Please try this way

Handler(Looper.getmainLooper()) and remove callback after you done your task inside runnable thread...also try to put this logic in any method outside in this class and call from setonclicklistener
Try the Timer.shedule with timertask
you can use runOnUIThread method inside where you can update UI.
you can also try to check the time difference of click and enable again in looping like while.
