Hi @Tlaster is there way around in precompose to know how many composable already in backstack as like we do have ArrayDeque in android compose attached screen shot for
1. Android compose Arraydeque
2. About how we used this for our usecase

[Tlaster]

Personally, I don't recommend this approach since in Jetpack Navigation, backQueue is limited to library group, which indicate you'd better not to use this property.

[Suresh Maidaragi]

Got it
@Tlaster is it possible to know at least stackManager size? as like we have canGoBack which says there is no items in the stack.
new thing which I wanted to have is, how many items are there in stack..

[Suresh Maidaragi]

If you wish I can make changes and raise an MR for your library...

[Tlaster]

Just wondering: why would you need something like that, since it's not even possible with jetpack navigation (unless you're using backQueue, which you shouldn't)?

[Suresh Maidaragi]

Actually we have use case when backQueue size is = 3 we wanted the close the screen.. To achieve this we wanted to know the backQueue size.

It possible in case of Jetpack Navigation as it made backQueue as an ArrayDeque from which I can check size

[Tlaster]

As I said before, you should not use backQueue since it's limit to library group

[Suresh Maidaragi]

so how can I know the size of backStacks from StackManager of Precompose?

[Tlaster]

Well currently there's no such an API, the same as the jetpack navigation.

[Suresh Maidaragi]

can I make this changes on your library and raise an MR?

[Tlaster]

Is the only thing you need is back stack count? in that case I can add this.

[Suresh Maidaragi]

Yes please

[Suresh Maidaragi]

Just back stack count I need

[Suresh Maidaragi]

Let me know the version when you make that I'll use it🙌

[Suresh Maidaragi]

@Tlaster 1.6.0-rc01 release doesn't contains changes expected can you please add

[Tlaster]

rc01 just rebase and update the dependency version, nothing changes yet.

[Suresh Maidaragi]

In coming version can we expect above discussed changes?

[Tlaster]

Yes, will be in rc02

[Suresh Maidaragi]

Thank you..
