Hey, I’m using voyager for navigation, and I’m not sure if I’m doing this right

I have a bottom navigation bar, with 4 tabs, each tab screen is implementing Tab interface, now those tabs can navigate to other screens inside the tab, for this I wasn’t able to get LocalNavigator.current and had to separate the tab from the screen, e.g. instead of HomeScreen now I have HomeTab that have this code

@Composable
override fun Content() {
    Navigator(HomeScreen)
}

which allows the Home screen to navigate to other child screens, is this correct? with this approach now I have multiple navigators inside the app instead of one


its working fine so far but when I wanted to listen to navigations following this person’s code it didn’t work because I have more than one navigator and I can’t listen to all navigations from the main one


so if you have suggestions for different navigation listener I would be happy to hear

My Airbnb sample (as well as Code with a slightly modified/updated use case) has a combine navigator for sheets and tabs.

Great! thanks for sharing, will check it out

[Raed Ghazal]

do you have some kind of navigation listener ?

[brandonmcansh]

What’s the use case? You need to know what screen you came from?

[Raed Ghazal]

no, tracking screens usages, I wanna know what screens are most used by users

[brandonmcansh]

Oh we have our screens tracking themselves to analytics

[brandonmcansh]

OnLifecycleEffect I think it’s called in voyager

[brandonmcansh]

Check AnalyticsScreenWatcher

[Raed Ghazal]

alright will check, I was hoping there would be an automatic way instead of doing it manually in each screen but that will do too

[brandonmcansh]

its per screen atm since I need the analytics event for it and didnt wanna call a super.Content() in content (but reconsidering that)

[brandonmcansh]

then my base Screen could handle it

[brandonmcansh]

would just need to add my event as an overridable val for base screen

[brandonmcansh]

You could though LaunchedEffect lastItem though and track that way
