Workaround To Prevent Rapid Clicks On a Button in Xamarin Forms

In this blog we are going to discuss a small and important error which occurs while working in Xamarin Forms.

Things developers face while programming: We have seen rapid clicking on a button invoking the same event or the same process many times. Here we will find a way to control the rapid click error of a button.

We can write a class named SingleClick, in which we will write a method, Click with Object and EventArgs, as arguments to do the magic. Refer to the below code snippet for more.

public class SingleClick
{
    bool hasClicked;
    #region Button Click
    Action < object, EventArgs > _setClick;
    public SingleClick(Action < object, EventArgs > setClick)
    {
        _setClick = setClick;
    }#endregion Button Click

    public void Click(object s, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!hasClicked)
        {
            _setClick(s, e);
            hasClicked = true;
        }
        Reset();
    }
    async void Reset()
    {
        await Task.Delay(800);
        await Task.Run(new Action(() => hasClicked = false));
    }
}

Usage :

var button = new Button();
button.Clicked += new SingleClick(Button_Clicked).Click;

Try this workaround and give me your valuable suggestions. Happy Coding.
