Hi,
On my app I have a “share on FB” button, how can I code it so the user can’t press multiple times on the button quickly ?
The button basically posts a photo onto FB and I have just tested it and by accident clicked it 3 times. Good test mind you as the image did in fact post 3 times to FB!
Cheers,

You could set a flag on your button press function and when user presses the button the flag changes and after a certain amount of time the flag is set back to allow the user press again.
Or the button press function can be called by a timer which can only be pressed every xx time.
Hope this helps,

Set a flag to true on press, then, test for it in your button press function. The code below will reset the flag back to false and allow you to press again after 1000 ms, (1 second).
if myFlag == true then
return true
else
myFlag = true
timer.performWithDelay(1000, function() myFlag = false end)
end

Make sure you are testing the event.phase in the event handler.
if you dont wrap your code in
if event.phase == "ended" then
... stuff
end You will get a hit when the button is touched, another if the finger moves on it, and another when the finger is removed.
3 hits.

Ah of course, thats why am getting multiple hits on the button.

Thanks for this, and also Jeff. I’m using this in my app now and it’s doing the trick.
