Can I add Tap gesture to the Entry

Question

It's possible to add Tap gesture to the Entry?
This code works for Label but doesn't work for Entry:

var tapEntryRecognizer = new TapGestureRecognizer(); 
tapFocusEntryRecognizer.Tapped += async (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("tapped"); }; 
tapEntry.GestureRecognizers.Add(tapFocusEntryRecognizer);

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You can use Focused event to achieve it

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/xamarin.forms.visualelement.focused?view=xamarin-forms

   myEntry.Focused += async (s, e) => {   
     
   //add you code  
     
   };
