  1. Add A controller to you Tabs (i do it with $stateProvider)
  2. add ng-click to you tab
  3. create the method
  4. be happy it works :smiley:

here a codepen: http://codepen.io/domiSchenk/pen/zHeau

only downside you need to do page changing inside the method.

Thank you @Auro

Another Issue please see this one.
I have created the nested list have a look at that http://codepen.io/asadfida/pen/oknzL

The issue is when I select a list all the lists shows the sub-list/lists.So I want to open sub-list of only the selected item.How to I do this please guide me.

The problem your facing is, your are using a scope wide variable and you bind to only this instance for each item

what you have to do is create a individual variable for each of this list items
see here: http://codepen.io/domiSchenk/pen/sDaLG

tipp: in angular dont use ! for showing stuff, you can use ng-hide=""

@Auro The Sublists show/hide very quickly. http://codepen.io/asadfida/pen/oknzL
how to make it little bit slow.(any way like css transitions on show and hide)

sorry for late response :slight_smile:

i have worked out something:

note: you have to set

.slidedown {            
  max-height: 900px ;                    
}   

to a value your list will never get.
but on closing it will have a little delay.

and i did change your links to a ul list its better to handle this.

ion-tab also has a on-select method that you could hook in to:
