PressedListener event for TabLayout

Question

I want to have Press event listener for my tabLayout.

Based on the tabLayout item which is pressed I want to highlight another view in my layout.

I know we have addOnTabSelectedListener but I want to have PressedListener.

Is there any solution?

Get each tab views and set touch listener on each, didnt try it my self pls try and let me knw

val tabStrip = tab.getChildAt(0)
    if (tabStrip is ViewGroup) {
        val childCount = tabStrip.childCount
        for (i in 0 until childCount) {
            val tabView = tabStrip.getChildAt(i)
            tabView.setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
                if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                    Log.d("touchEvent","touched $i")
                }
                return@setOnTouchListener true
            }
        }
    }

in java

   final View tabStrip = ((TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab)).getChildAt(0);
    int childCount = ((ViewGroup) tabStrip).getChildCount();
    for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
        View tabView = ((ViewGroup) tabStrip).getChildAt(i);
        final int finalI = i;
        tabView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                    Log.d("onTouch", "touched " + finalI);
                }
                return false;
            }
        });
