# compose

Is jetpack compose navigation the only way to change screen in compose? do exist other ways to achieve it? After a research I only can find the codelab of navigation for switching between scrreens. Can't find any other official documented way.

Technically the simplest way to do this is something as simple as this:

enum class Screen {
  One, Two, Three
}
fun App() {
 var screen by remember { mutableStateOf(Screen.One) }
 Surface(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
  when(screen) {
   One -> ScreenOne(navigateToTwo = { screen = Screen.Two })
   Two -> ScreenTwo(navigateToThree = { screen = Screen.Three })
   Three -> ScreenThree()
  }
 }
}

and as you change your state, a different screen will show. You don't need a navigation library just for this. But for a real project, some sort of navigation library is probably a good idea. androidx.navigation is just one of the options, but there are more.
