DoubleTapped event for ListView items in UWP

Question

I want to be able to double tap on listview items. i used DoubleTapped event but when i double tap on listview (not items) event is fire, i only want to work with items (not listview itself (panels, borders,...)), in wpf we can simply do this by creating listviewitem style:

<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <EventSetter Event="MouseDoubleClick" Handler="ListViewItem_MouseDoubleClick" />
        </Style>

but this method not worked in uwp, how can i do this?

UWP platform does not support add the EventSetter, If you want to add DoubleTapped for ListViewItem, please add it into ItemTemplate.

For example

<ListView VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <ListView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid DoubleTapped="Grid_DoubleTapped">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

As the code above, you could listen the Grid DoubleTapped, please note we need set ListViewItem HorizontalContentAlignment as Stretch to make sure the whole item could response double tap.
