Will the activity of Android – ontouchevent() be triggered 3 times?

In my titlescreen activity, I have

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
{
   Log.d("MyActivity", "in onTouchEvent!");

   MediaPlayer myplayer = MediaPlayer.create(TitleScreen.this, R.raw.mysound);
   myplayer.start();
   startActivity(new Intent("com.example.GAME"));
   return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

This causes the sound to play quickly and continuously three times when clicking on the screen, making the sound I want to play have a delayed echo. I checked the log and my "ontouchevent!" message was recorded three times

This activity is just a static image of the title screen. You can click it to start the next activity. When you do so, the specified sound should be the player

For my specific problem, I can solve it by placing a global level int variable:

private static int playerInstances = 0;

Then wrap it with my mediaplayer line:

if (playerInstances == 0)
{
    MediaPlayer myplayer = MediaPlayer.create(TitleScreen.this, R.raw.critical1);
    myplayer.start();
    playerInstances++;
}

This ensures that the code is executed only once. So my problem is solved. I just want to know why I click ontouchevent three times at a time

resolvent:

What you actually do on ontouchevent (better than using static variables) is:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
   final int action = event.getAction();

   if(action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
       Log.d("MyActivity", "in onTouchEvent!");
       MediaPlayer myPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(TitleScreen.this, R.raw.mysound);
       myPlayer.start();
       startActivity(new Intent("com.example.GAME"));
   }
   return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
