NavController

public class NavController

Known direct subclasses
NavHostController

Subclass of NavController that offers additional APIs for use by a NavHost to connect the NavController to external dependencies.

Known indirect subclasses
TestNavHostController

Subclass of NavHostController that offers additional APIs for testing Navigation.


NavController manages app navigation within a NavHost.

Apps will generally obtain a controller directly from a host, or by using one of the utility methods on the Navigation class rather than create a controller directly.

Navigation flows and destinations are determined by the navigation graph owned by the controller. These graphs are typically inflated from an Android resource, but, like views, they can also be constructed or combined programmatically or for the case of dynamic navigation structure. (For example, if the navigation structure of the application is determined by live data obtained' from a remote server.)

  • CREATED entries are listed first and include all entries that are in the process of completing their exit transition. Note that this can include entries that have been popped off the Navigation back stack.

  • STARTED entries on the back stack are next and include all entries that are running their enter transition and entries whose destination is partially covered by a FloatingWindow destination

  • The last entry in the list is the topmost entry in the back stack and is in the RESUMED state only if its enter transition has completed. Otherwise it too will be STARTED.

Note that the Lifecycle of any entry cannot be higher than the containing Activity/Fragment - if the Activity is not RESUMED, no entry will be RESUMED, no matter what the transition state is.

handleDeepLink

Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
public boolean handleDeepLink(Intent intent)

Checks the given Intent for a Navigation deep link and navigates to the deep link if present. This is called automatically for you the first time you set the graph if you've passed in an Activity as the context when constructing this NavController, but should be manually called if your Activity receives new Intents in Activity.onNewIntent.

The types of Intents that are supported include:

Intents created by NavDeepLinkBuilder or createDeepLink. This assumes that the current graph shares the same hierarchy to get to the deep linked destination as when the deep link was constructed. Intents that include a data Uri. This Uri will be checked against the Uri patterns in the NavDeepLinks added via NavDestination.addDeepLink.

The navigation graph should be set before calling this method.

Parameters
Intent intent

The Intent that may contain a valid deep link

Returns
boolean

True if the navigation controller found a valid deep link and navigated to it.

Throws
kotlin.IllegalStateException

if deep link cannot be accessed from the current destination

@MainThread
public boolean navigateUp()

Returns
boolean

true if the stack was popped at least once and the user has been navigated to another destination, false otherwise
