Nativescript: Feature: TabView tabItemTap event

[ddfreiling]

Right now there is only a selectedIndexChanged event for TabView. It would be nice with a Tab selection event, so that we could implement custom behavior when the currently active Tab is tapped again.

Examples:

• Double tap Tab to reset its history. This works now on iOS, but not on Android.
• Double tap Tab to scroll it to top (Twitter does this).

Suggestion:
As discussed with @sebawita , a simple onTabTapped event, which would trigger with: currentTabIndex and newTabIndex, would do the job. Naming could be improved :)

A follow up here.

After a discussion within the core team and as mentioned above, we would suggest exposing a tabItemTap event. It will raise before selectedIndexChanged and will allow developers to implement custom behavior.

Will this be a part of TabView re-design in version 6.0? #6967

@AlexisWalravens as mentioned in new TabView re-design, it will be a part of version 6.1 (check the link in my previous comment)

I think this can now be closed as nativescript 6.1 released with tap event for new bottomNavigation component.
