B4A Library [Class] Double Tap to Exit

Hy everybody,

This is my first class I have ever made. Maybe you know it from app like ES File Explorer: When you tap the backbutton a toastmessage appears with the text: 'Tap again to exit'. If you tap back again, the App will close. So i made this class to easy use this feature. (As I said earlier: this is my first class and i'm still working on it)

Example code:
B4X:
Sub Globals
Dim D As DoubleTaptoClose
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   D.Initialize ("Tap again to exit")
End Sub

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean 'Return True to consume the event
If keycode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_BACK Then
   D.TapToClose
   Return True
End If
End Sub


> Updates <

Version 1.1:
- Timeout set to ~1.8 seconds

Version 1.2:
- Remove the Log() method
- Changed the Description

Maybe add a timeout using a timer, so they have to double tap within, say, one second or else it doesn't trigger.

I have change it a little bit and add an event before close :
B4X:
'Class module
Private Sub Class_Globals
   Private Ti As Timer
   Private I As Int
   Private TT As String
   Private BeforeCloseObj As Object
   Private BeforeCloseEvent As String
   Private CC As Int
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize (ToastText As String,CloseObject As Object , CloseEvent As String,ClickCount As Int,ClickTimeoutMs As Int)
   I = 0
   Ti.Initialize ("Ti",ClickTimeoutMs)
   Ti.Enabled = False
   TT = ToastText
   CC = ClickCount
   BeforeCloseObj = CloseObject
   BeforeCloseEvent = CloseEvent
End Sub

Private Sub Ti_Tick
  I = 0
End Sub

Public Sub TapToClose
   Ti.Enabled = False
   Ti.Enabled = True
   ToastMessageShow (TT,False)
   I = I + 1
   If I >= CC Then
     Ti.Enabled = False
     If (BeforeCloseObj <> Null) And (BeforeCloseEvent<>"") Then CallSub(BeforeCloseObj,BeforeCloseEvent)
     ExitApplication
   End If
End Sub

Example :
B4X:
Sub Globals
  Dim D As DoubleTaptoClose
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
  D.Initialize ("Tap again to exit",Me,"BeforeClose",2,2000)
' Toastmessage = "Tap again to exit"
' Object for callback function = Me
' Event for callback function = "BeforeClose"
' Clickcount = 2
' Timeout for clicking = 2000 (ms)
End Sub

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean 'Return True to consume the event
  If keycode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_BACK Then
    D.TapToClose
    Return True
  EndIf
End Sub

Sub BeforeClose
  ' do something before close
End Sub
