Hmmm, I just added this functionality to my own project and it works
like a charm.

Let's see.  To get this going you need a few things.  The class that
will receive your callback must implement the
GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener interface, for which it must
include implementations of onSingleTapConfirmed(), onDoubleTap(), and
onDoubleTapEvent().  In addition, I generally include as a member of
that class a GestureDetector object (I frequently include and use
OnGestureListener as well but I don't think that's relevant to this
discussion).  Then, you must register your interest in the associated
callbacks, somewhere around the time of onCreate(), via some code like
this:

        mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this);
        mGestureDetector.setOnDoubleTapListener(this);

That should get it going.  One other thing I did was override
dispatchTouchEvent(), at the end of which I call:

        return mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);

...but I'm not at all sure you *need* to do this to get double taps
rolling.  I was using dispatchTouchEvent() for some other things.
