If you open your activity from a notifications' PendingIntent, how would you make it navigate to a specific composable screen? Should I send an argument via the intent and let the activity navigate or is there a better way?

[ziv kesten]

Sending an argument representing a type\enum, that can be later sorted in the activity for navigation seems like a good approach, why do you feel there should be a better way?

@ziv kesten I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing a more "correct" way (like something with deep links)

[Florian Walther (live streaming)]

thank you

[ziv kesten]

To be honest like most things in compose ATM, the navigation patterns are all fairly new, so, not only is your question valid, there is a definite possibility that there is a better practice that we haven't come up with yet.

If you think of something we would love for you to share here blob hug

ok 👍

[Florian Walther (live streaming)]

thank you very much

[Florian Walther (live streaming)]

actually turns out I was on the right track with deeplinks

[Florian Walther (live streaming)]

they actually make it easier, using URLs

[Florian Walther (live streaming)]

it's described in the docs: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation#deeplinks

[ziv kesten]

[Florian Walther (live streaming)]
