GestureRecognizer.CanBeDoubleTap | canBeDoubleTap method

Identifies whether a tap can still be interpreted as the second tap of a double tap gesture.

Syntax

var boolean = gestureRecognizer.canBeDoubleTap(value);

Parameters

value

Type: PointerPoint

The last input pointer.

Return value

Type: Boolean [JavaScript] | System.Boolean [.NET] | Platform::Boolean [C++]

True if a UI element supports the double tap gesture and the time threshold to complete the gesture has not been crossed; otherwise false.

Remarks

This method supports GestureRecognizer object pool management, where GestureRecognizer objects are dynamically assigned to a set of UI elements.

Specifically, GestureRecognizer objects can be recycled for UI elements that do not support or can no longer process a double tap gesture. For example, if CanBeDoubleTap returns true for the most recent PointerPoint, it’s not safe to recycle the GestureRecognizer because a double tap is still a viable interaction based on subsequent input. If CanBeDoubleTap returns false, the GestureRecognizer can be safely recycled.

This method is not required if GestureRecognizer object pool management is not implemented.
