How will navigation work in Jetpack compose (since Navigation Components currently seems to be based on Fragments)?

[Adam Powell]

The navigation component is based on pluggable Navigators and the fragment navigator is just one implementation

[Adam Powell]

Further API tuning on both compose and the navigation arch component will likely happen as well, or if you want to make minimal changes and have it work today you can make a compose fragment and use it from all of the existing fragment-based navigation stuff

Awesome info, thanks Adam!

any comments on long term use of navigateTo()? I really like it 👍🏽 https://github.com/android/compose-samples/blob/master/JetNews/app/src/main/java/com/example/jetnews/ui/home/HomeScreen.kt#L86

[Adam Powell]

navigateTo is basically the shape of the navigation arch component API, or were you referring to something else?

[Ash]

My entire app navigation is built with navigateTo. I use it the same way I use NavigationLink in SwiftUI. Wondering if it is going to change or go away ???

[Adam Powell]

It's just a function provided by the JetNews sample app code in that link, it won't go away from app code unless you want it to 🙂

Note: if you want to swipe a scrappy version of a compose navigator for the AAC navigation, i put up a gist here:

The hope is ... as soon as Compose is in beta, our app is in the Google Play Store 🎉 We expect this to be hard 😂

I was unable to get this scrappy version to work on dev03. It gave me this warning message and failed to compile: Functions which invoke @Composable functions must be marked with the @Composable annotation.

I had to sign out to see the code 😄
