Note: Using stopPropagation
is something that should be avoided as it breaks normal event flow in the DOM. See this CSS Tricks article for more information. Consider using this method instead.
Attach a click event to the document body which closes the window. Attach a separate click event to the container which stops propagation to the document body.
$(window).click(function() {
//Hide the menus if visible
});
$('#menucontainer').click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
});
Here's what I created to hold the images that my app is currently displaying. Please note that the "Log" object in use here is my custom wrapper around the final Log class inside Android.

I suspect you are going down the wrong track. Probably the best way to send a double click message is to send two single clicks, one immediately after the other. This has the best chance of working and not surprising the app with a double click notification out of the blue.
If you want to send the notification to the parent window, then this might get you started:
