[TabLayout] Can't customize TabView click listener

[vvinogra]

Description:

I have a business logic in the app to perform a certain validation when the TabView is clicked. Due to the current TabLayout implementation, I can't prevent tab selection when the tab is clicked.

Expected behavior:

We should have an option to control this behavior.

Source code: TabLayout.java

    @Override
    public boolean performClick() {
      final boolean handled = super.performClick();

      if (tab != null) {
        if (!handled) {
          playSoundEffect(SoundEffectConstants.CLICK);
        }
        tab.select();
        return true;
      } else {
        return handled;
      }
    }

Minimal sample app repro:

1. Create Activity/Fragment with TabLayout and a few TabView items.
2. Click on the tab
