Callback on switching tabs

[wgormley]

is there anyway to know when a tab has become the active tab, or a way to set a callback on tab presses/changes?

Actually this would be really good - I have a tab that opens up a photo gallery or camera (like instagram). I just really need to find out which is the active tab, I've done it before using JS only but I have decided that the only way forward is with react-native is with react-native-controllers/react-native-navigation (from Wix!!). I can wait.

This feature is at the top of our list. Will be added soon, after the Android version matures a bit.

+1 Desperately need this. Are there any current workarounds to get the active tab or when the tab presses/changes?

Check out our branch here for a quick and easy implementation: https://github.com/3sidedcube/react-native-navigation/tree/feature/view_lifecycle

Happy to pull request it, but it's built on top of a fork that we're already waiting on a large pull request to go through on so will have to wait for that first!
