Top-level constants

KEY_ROUTE

const val KEY_ROUTE: String

The route linked to the current destination.

Value: "android-support-nav:controller:route"

Top-level functions

NavHost

@Composable fun NavHost(
    navController: NavHostController, 
    startDestination: String, 
    route: String? = null, 
    builder: NavGraphBuilder.() -> Unit
): Unit

Provides in place in the Compose hierarchy for self contained navigation to occur.

Once this is called, any Composable within the given NavGraphBuilder can be navigated to from the provided navController.

The builder passed into this method is remembered. This means that for this NavHost, the contents of the builder cannot be changed.

import androidx.navigation.compose.NavHost
import androidx.navigation.compose.composable
import androidx.navigation.compose.rememberNavController

val navController = rememberNavController()
NavHost(navController, startDestination = Screen.Profile.route) {
    composable(Screen.Profile.route) { Profile(navController) }
    composable(Screen.Dashboard.route) { Dashboard(navController) }
    composable(Screen.Scrollable.route) { Scrollable(navController) }
}

Parameters
navController: NavHostController	the navController for this host
startDestination: String	the route for the start destination
route: String? = null	the route for the graph
builder: NavGraphBuilder.() -> Unit	the builder used to construct the graph

NavHost

@Composable fun NavHost(
    navController: NavHostController, 
    graph: NavGraph
): Unit

Provides in place in the Compose hierarchy for self contained navigation to occur.

Once this is called, any Composable within the given NavGraphBuilder can be navigated to from the provided navController.

The graph passed into this method is remembered. This means that for this NavHost, the graph cannot be changed.

Parameters
navController: NavHostController	the navController for this host
graph: NavGraph	the graph for this host

navArgument

fun navArgument(
    name: String, 
    builder: NavArgumentBuilder.() -> Unit
): NamedNavArgument

Construct a new NavArgument

rememberNavController

@Composable fun rememberNavController(): NavHostController

Creates a NavHostController that handles the adding of the ComposeNavigator.
