03/10/2025, 10:21 PMHi I have an app module that uses NavHost and NavController for navigation. The app has two main scenarios: a login module and a home module. After a successful login, I navigate to the home module, which includes a bottom navigation bar. Since the bottom navigation bar requires a Scaffold, I’m using Scaffold inside the home module. Given this setup, what is the best approach for structuring navigation? Should I use multiple NavHost instances, or is there a better way to manage navigation efficiently?

03/11/2025, 4:48 AMI had a similar problem. I was suggested to use one navhost. based on the destination hide the ui components you don't need or show them. The more recommended approach is to use shared element transition. I guess this is discussed some where in the past thread. I remember asking a similar question. @Stylianos Gakis can you add on!

03/11/2025, 2:59 PMHow does Shared element transition helps to avoid multiple navhost?By allowing each screen to define themselves if they want the navigation elements to be present or not.
