How to process button clicks in real time?

Question

Java

Overridden the dispatchKeyEvent method in the Activity to handle pressing the volume buttons.
When the volume down button is pressed very quickly (5 times per second somewhere), the method is not called. When the tempo decreases, all events (KeyEvent) arrive (including those that "hung" at a high tempo). At the same time, the events themselves are created exactly at the moment the button is pressed (getEventTime returns quite truthful values).
With the volume up button, such problems were not noticed. Checked on the emulator 4.1, and on the phone 5.1. Even the system volume control is subject to this effect.
Maybe there is a way to force the Activity to process the accumulated queue forcibly, by a timer for example?

Answer 1

I am not an android master, but apparently, the volume does not change quickly and, therefore, you need to change it in a separate thread. Well, or some kind of processing queue .. for example, if a new task has already arrived, then we cancel the previous one and immediately change the volume to some other level.
