Hi, is anything similar in compose like Flutter Navigation ? for example opening different Scaffolds directly ?

[John O'Reilly]

You mean something like https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation ?

Sorry i forgot to mention, Actually i had already checked this, it is like current(JetpackNavigation) navigation graph, but while working on Flutter’s Navigation api i have found that its great in some cases like for simple apps, because in flutter’s way we can easily pass Data between different screens directly through Constructor arguments and also we receive result back pretty easily. Flutter Navigation

[Kulwinder Singh]

for example in flutter we can do something like this

Starting and listening for result

int result = await Navigator.push(
    context,
    MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondRoute(data: something)),
  );

on Second Route or screen

Navigator.of(context).pop(5);// sending 5 as result

If you're hacking something quick and dirty, you could just do this https://stackoverflow.com/a/65619560/9440211.
Otherwise no, this solution doesn't allow passing entire objects. Also mentioned here by Ian Lake https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1612475129357900?thread_ts=1612469332.356500&cid=CJLTWPH7S about how it should be implemented instead.

Navigation Compose is specifically designed to save and restore your state exactly as it is over configuration changes and process death and recreation. That certainly affects the API that is offered

That's actually a super great point Ian. I guess I've always figured that, but nice to see it in writing. 💯
