Jetpack Navigation 3 is a library for app navigation. This repository contains recipes for how to use its APIs to implement common navigation use cases.

Recipes

These are the recipes and what they demonstrate.

Basic API examples

• Basic: Shows most basic API usage.
• Saveable back stack: As above, with a persistent back stack.
• Entry provider DSL: As above, using the entryProvider DSL.

Layouts and animations

• Dialog: Shows how to create a Dialog destination.
• Custom Scene: Shows how to create a custom layout using a Scene and SceneStrategy (see video of UI behavior below).
• Animations: Override the default animations for all destinations and a single destination.

Material adaptive layouts

Examples showing how to use the layouts provided by the Compose Material3 Adaptive Navigation3 library

• List-Detail: Shows how to use a Material adaptive list-detail layout.
• Supporting Pane: Shows how to use a Material adaptive supporting pane layout.

Common use cases

• Common navigation UI: A common navigation toolbar where each item in the toolbar navigates to a top level destination.
• Conditional navigation: Switch to a different navigation flow when a condition is met. For example, for authentication or first-time user onboarding.

Architecture

• Modularized navigation code: Demonstrates how to decouple navigation code into separate modules (uses Dagger/Hilt for DI).

Passing navigation arguments to ViewModels

• Basic ViewModel: Navigation arguments are passed to a ViewModel constructed using viewModel()
• Hilt injected ViewModel: Navigation arguments are passed to a ViewModel constructed using hiltViewModel()
• Koin injected ViewModel: Navigation arguments are passed to a ViewModel constructed using koinViewModel()

Planned

• Deeplinks: Create and handle deeplinks to specific destinations
• Android XR: Custom navigation and layout behavior for Android XR
• Returning a result from a destination: Return a result to a previous destination

Custom layout example

The following is a screen recording showing the navigation behavior of a custom, two-pane Scene.
