Hey @Rafael Costa

I have to create a tabbed screen with children screens which we can navigate to and not just switch the composable

On selection of any tab, i want the content of the screen to change to the selected destination
Something like bottombar
but the bottombar usecase only works because the DestinationsNavHost accepts a DirectionNavHostGraphSpec and not a TypedNavGraphSpec

How can we circumvent this?

[Suhaib Kazi]

Although the KDocs say it accepts NavGraphSpec and not necessarily a NavHostGraphSpec
Not sure what should be corrected here

[Rafael Costa]

NavHost does need a NacHostGraphSpec.
Kdocs are slightly outdated, sorry for that.

[Rafael Costa]

Im not sure I understand the use case 🤔

[Suhaib Kazi]

The usecase is pretty simple

I have a destination in which i have tabs.
And based on the selected tabs i want to show a destination in the container below.
I know this can be done using switching composables.

But wanted to know if this is possible through destinations

[Rafael Costa]

Something like this?

[Suhaib Kazi]

Very much so
Exactly that

But imagine the bottom bar is nested inside another destination

[Rafael Costa]

Then I guess one way would be to have a second NavHost (and due to that also a second NavHostGraph to pass to it).
But there are certainly other ways to do this with various pros and cons, so only your team is in the position of deciding what to do.

Yep
Went completely another way
Thanks for the input
