ListView item selection without gesture recognizers fails on Android

See original GitHub issue

It seems ListView elements won’t invoke the ItemSelected and ItemTapped callbacks, and sometime they just do it the first time the item is tapped.

To reproduce the issue change the class BuildCard in CarouselSampleListView.cs as follows:

private object BuildCard(Color color)
{
	var list = new ListView
	{
		BackgroundColor = color,
		ItemTemplate = new DataTemplate(() =>
		{
			var label = new Label
			{
				TextColor = Color.White
			};
			label.SetBinding(Label.TextProperty, nameof(ListItemModel.Text));

			var content = new ContentView();
			content.Content = label;

			var tapGesture = new TapGestureRecognizer();
			tapGesture.SetBinding(TapGestureRecognizer.CommandProperty, nameof(ListItemModel.Command));
			//content.GestureRecognizers.Add(tapGesture); <-- comment this to disable the gesture recognizer

			return new ViewCell
			{
				View = content
			};
		})
	};
	list.SetBinding(ItemsView<Cell>.ItemsSourceProperty, nameof(ListCardModel.Items));

	// add these callbacks
	list.ItemSelected += (sender, e) =>
	{
		var listView = (ListView)sender;
		if (listView.SelectedItem == null)
		{
			return;
		}
		Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Selected", null, "Ok");
		listView.SelectedItem = null;
	};
	list.ItemTapped += (sender, e) =>
	{
		Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Tapped", null, "Ok");
	};

	return new ContentView
	{
		Margin = new Thickness(30, 20),
		Content = list
	};
}

I’m using Android version 5.0.1 running on an Acer Iconia B1-770 with the version of XF and CardView in the master branch
