Hello, I am facing a problem when passing a list of strings, that are links, through compose navigation with type safety due to the links containing "/" and causing unknown destination crash

[Arsildo Murati]

anyone know a smart way to handle such cases

[Arsildo Murati]

is something like

val encodedUrl = URLEncoder.encode("<http://alphaone.me/>", StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString())
navController.navigate("HistoryDetail/$encodedUrl")

[Arsildo Murati]

with type safety, is considered ok?

[Stylianos Gakis]

This doesn't look like it's using the type-safe approach of the navigation library. You seem to be navigating using strings instead of creating an object and passing it to .navigate()

[Arsildo Murati]

I used a stackoverflow example of how people overcome this

[Arsildo Murati]

Even with type safety typemaps you have to do this

[Arsildo Murati]

basically if a string contains a "/" you must replace it otherwise it will cause crashes

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yeah but there things are simple, you only need to make sure to Uri.encode your String inside the "serializeAsValue" function.
Here's where we do it.
As called out very specifically in the documentation too:
