Nativescript ButtonDown event

Question

I'm working on an app using Angular 2+ and Nativescript 5. In a normal button I listen to "taps" with the tap event:

<Button text="Tap me" (tap)="onTap($event)"></Button>

But the tap event triggers after the finger releases the button.

Now I want to listen to the "ButtonDown" event, when the finger touches the button. But I can't find that event on the docs!

Is there any workaround that works in this case?

You may have to listen for the touch event and make sure the action is down.
