02/20/2023, 11:42 PMReturning to Compose after a 6 month hiatus. I want to prototype a screen with 4 static buttons on the bottom (icon above text with an optional badge on some of them), clicking on buttons scrolls pages above to desired screen. I know this has seen a lot of flux... what's the current stock idiom I should be chasing? Is this a HorizontalPager or something else?

Or this

To make your life easier regarding typed navigation if you find that part annoying
