Public functions

createDestination

Added in 2.4.0
open fun createDestination(): ComposeNavigator.Destination

Construct a new NavDestination associated with this Navigator.

Any initialization of the destination should be done in the destination's constructor as it is not guaranteed that every destination will be created through this method.

Returns
ComposeNavigator.Destination

a new NavDestination

 
open fun navigate(
    entries: List<NavBackStackEntry>,
    navOptions: NavOptions?,
    navigatorExtras: Navigator.Extras?
): Unit

Navigate to a destination.

Requests navigation to a given destination associated with this navigator in the navigation graph. This method generally should not be called directly; NavController will delegate to it when appropriate.

Parameters
entries: List<NavBackStackEntry>

destination(s) to navigate to
navOptions: NavOptions?

additional options for navigation
navigatorExtras: Navigator.Extras?

extras unique to your Navigator.

onTransitionComplete

Added in 2.6.0
fun onTransitionComplete(entry: NavBackStackEntry): Unit

Callback to mark a navigation in transition as complete.

This should be called in conjunction with navigate and popBackStack as those calls merely start a transition to the target destination, and requires manually marking the transition as complete by calling this method.

Failing to call this method could result in entries being prevented from reaching their final Lifecycle.State.

popBackStack

open fun popBackStack(popUpTo: NavBackStackEntry, savedState: Boolean): Unit

Attempt to pop this navigator's back stack, performing the appropriate navigation.

All destinations back to popUpTo should be popped off the back stack.

Parameters
popUpTo: NavBackStackEntry

the entry that should be popped off the NavigatorState.backStack along with all entries above this entry.
savedState: Boolean

whether any Navigator specific state associated with popUpTo should be saved to later be restored by a call to navigate with NavOptions.shouldRestoreState.

prepareForTransition

Added in 2.8.0
fun prepareForTransition(entry: NavBackStackEntry): Unit

Function to prepare the entry for transition.

This should be called when the entry needs to move the Lifecycle.State in preparation for a transition such as when using predictive back.

Public properties

backStack

Added in 2.6.0
val backStack: StateFlow<List<NavBackStackEntry>>

Get the back stack from the state.
