The docs say I can create a NavController using ``val navController = rememberNavController()`` . But when I create a navController this way I get NavHostController instead. It works fine for my NavGraph but I cannot use .navigate() on NavHostController . The docs do not include anything about the difference of these two or even mention NavHostController.

NavHostController extends NavController, you automatically get any NavController based APIs

Make sure you've added the import for the navigate that takes a route

It does not show the import automatically. I have to find it manually and import it.

The last reported issue on this wasn't reproducible on the latest versions of Studio: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/172834438

Make sure you're actually typing in a string - navigate() without any parameters is never valid (and wouldn't have any matching extension function to import)

[Ian Lake]

The next release will be moving all of these extensions to be methods on the classes themselves (tracking bug https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/172823546), so it won't be an issue anymore

The screen shot does not have a string but its the same even with a String param

[Ian Lake]

Then you should probably report a new bug in the Android Studio component

Okay, will do - I just added the import manually on my project for now as well
