Answer 1

There is no direct way to check a previously selected item in the bottom bar what you can do you can make use of

onTap: (index) => changeTab(index)

It gives an index of the item user taps, Save index to some variable, and next time when use tap on the item you can consider previously saved value as an item from which the user is tapping.
