Public methods

navigateUp

@NonNull
public static final boolean navigateUp(
    @NonNull NavController navController,
    @Nullable Openable openableLayout
)

Handles the Up button by delegating its behavior to the given NavController. This should generally be called from AppCompatActivity.onSupportNavigateUp.

If you do not have a Openable layout, you should call NavController.navigateUp directly.

Parameters
@NonNull NavController navController	The NavController that hosts your content.
@Nullable Openable openableLayout	The Openable layout that should be opened if you are on the topmost level of the app.

Returns
boolean	True if the NavController was able to navigate up.

navigateUp

@NonNull
public static final boolean navigateUp(
    @NonNull NavController navController,
    @NonNull AppBarConfiguration configuration
)

Handles the Up button by delegating its behavior to the given NavController. This is an alternative to using NavController.navigateUp directly when the given AppBarConfiguration needs to be considered when determining what should happen when the Up button is pressed.

In cases where no Up action is available, the AppBarConfiguration.fallbackOnNavigateUpListener will be called to provide additional control.

Parameters
@NonNull NavController navController	The NavController that hosts your content.
@NonNull AppBarConfiguration configuration	Additional configuration options for determining what should happen when the Up button is pressed.

Returns
boolean	True if the NavController was able to navigate up.

onNavDestinationSelected

@NonNull
public static final boolean onNavDestinationSelected(
    @NonNull MenuItem item,
    @NonNull NavController navController
)

Attempt to navigate to the NavDestination associated with the given MenuItem. This MenuItem should have been added via one of the helper methods in this class.

Importantly, it assumes the menu item id matches a valid action id or destination id to be navigated to.

By default, the back stack will be popped back to the navigation graph's start destination. Menu items that have android:menuCategory="secondary" will not pop the back stack.

Parameters
@NonNull MenuItem item	The selected MenuItem.
@NonNull NavController navController	The NavController that hosts the destination.

Returns
boolean	True if the NavController was able to navigate to the destination associated with the given MenuItem.

onNavDestinationSelected

@NavigationUiSaveStateControl
@NonNull
public static final @NavigationUiSaveStateControl boolean onNavDestinationSelected(
    @NonNull MenuItem item,
    @NonNull NavController navController,
    boolean saveState
)

Attempt to navigate to the NavDestination associated with the given MenuItem. This MenuItem should have been added via one of the helper methods in this class.

Importantly, it assumes the menu item id matches a valid action id or destination id to be navigated to.

By default, the back stack will be popped back to the navigation graph's start destination. Menu items that have android:menuCategory="secondary" will not pop the back stack.

Parameters
@NonNull MenuItem item	The selected MenuItem.
@NonNull NavController navController	The NavController that hosts the destination.
boolean saveState	Whether the NavController should save the back stack state. This must always be false: leave this parameter off entirely to use the non-experimental version of this API, which saves the state by default.

Returns
@NavigationUiSaveStateControl boolean	True if the NavController was able to navigate to the destination associated with the given MenuItem.

setupActionBarWithNavController

@NonNull
public static final void setupActionBarWithNavController(
    @NonNull AppCompatActivity activity,
    @NonNull NavController navController,
    @Nullable Openable openableLayout
)

Sets up the ActionBar returned by AppCompatActivity.getSupportActionBar for use with a NavController.

By calling this method, the title in the action bar will automatically be updated when the destination changes (assuming there is a valid label).

The start destination of your navigation graph is considered the only top level destination. On the start destination of your navigation graph, the ActionBar will show the drawer icon if the given Openable layout is non null. On all other destinations, the ActionBar will show the Up button. Call navigateUp to handle the Up button.

Destinations that implement androidx.navigation.FloatingWindow will be ignored.

Parameters
@NonNull AppCompatActivity activity	The activity hosting the action bar that should be kept in sync with changes to the NavController.
@NonNull NavController navController	The NavController whose navigation actions will be reflected in the title of the action bar.
@Nullable Openable openableLayout	The Openable layout that should be toggled from the home button

setupActionBarWithNavController

@NonNull
public static final void setupActionBarWithNavController(
    @NonNull AppCompatActivity activity,
    @NonNull NavController navController,
    @NonNull AppBarConfiguration configuration
)

Sets up the ActionBar returned by AppCompatActivity.getSupportActionBar for use with a NavController.

By calling this method, the title in the action bar will automatically be updated when the destination changes (assuming there is a valid label).

The AppBarConfiguration you provide controls how the Navigation button is displayed. Call navigateUp to handle the Up button.

setupWithNavController

@NonNull
public static final void setupWithNavController(
    @NonNull Toolbar toolbar,
    @NonNull NavController navController,
    @Nullable Openable openableLayout
)

Sets up a Toolbar for use with a NavController.

By calling this method, the title in the Toolbar will automatically be updated when the destination changes (assuming there is a valid label).

The start destination of your navigation graph is considered the only top level destination. On the start destination of your navigation graph, the Toolbar will show the drawer icon if the given Openable layout is non null. On all other destinations, the Toolbar will show the Up button. This method will call navigateUp when the Navigation button is clicked.

Destinations that implement androidx.navigation.FloatingWindow will be ignored.

Parameters
@NonNull Toolbar toolbar	The Toolbar that should be kept in sync with changes to the NavController.
@NonNull NavController navController	The NavController whose navigation actions will be reflected in the title of the Toolbar.
@Nullable Openable openableLayout	The Openable layout that should be toggled from the Navigation button

)

Sets up a Toolbar for use with a NavController.
