Re: Components in tabNavigator not initialized

exactly what you don't need actually. :) Although that may work for you,
its not a good practice as this turns off the deferred instantiation
inherent to TabNavigator among others components. This means that all your
tabs are created immediately regardless if they are ever viewed, slowing
startup times. Better to use other event such as creationComplete, etc.
