Question: what should `wasPressedFor()`return for double and triple clicks?

[LennartHennigs]

Hey, I noticed that wasPressedFor() always the returns the time for the last click. This sounds ok but for double and triple clicks it might not be helpful.

What would you expect?

• the total time (i.e. the sum of the clicks)?
• the time for single and long press and nothing for double and triple?
• something else?

Ideas are welcome.

I would vote for B. I can't think of a use-case where I would need to know the total amount of time that a button had been clicked for over multiple clicks.

Happened upon this question while looking to handle an application need. Thus far, I have only used this button2 for simple pin press input so may have bad assumptions about other usage. I need to detect multiple clicks beyond the specificly handled single, double, and triple and also to know if the last click is short or long. First, may I ask, will getNumberOfClicks() return a count higher than 3? If so in answe to your question, I would want wasPressedFor() to remain as-is to provide the length of the last click. Thanks!

@Alekeep yes, getNumberOfClicks()returns the true number.

ok, length if the last click.

@LennartHennigs, this seems to be the most useful approach... at least for me. Thanks!
