title: Xamarin.Forms - Button Pressed & Released Event
body: <p>I want to my event to trigger when button <strong>pressed and released</strong>, but I can only find <strong>Click</strong> event in Xamarin.Forms.</p>
  
  <p>I believe there must be some work around to get this functionality. My basic need is to <em>start a process when button is pressed and stop when released</em>. It seems to be a very basic feature but Xamarin.Forms doesn't have it right now.</p>
  
  <p>I tried TapGestureRecognizer on button, but button is firing only click event.</p>
  
  <pre><code>MyButton.Clicked += (sender, args) =&gt;
  {
    Log.V(TAG, "CLICKED");
  };
  
  var tapGestureRecognizer = new TapGestureRecognizer();
  tapGestureRecognizer.Tapped += (s, e) =&gt; {
      Log.V(TAG, "TAPPED");
  };
  MyButton.GestureRecognizers.Add(tapGestureRecognizer);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Keep in mind that I need those events to be working in Android and iOS togather.</p>
