Full Guide to Nested Navigation Graphs in Jetpack Compose 

Thank you for this video. Sharing the view model between the screens in the nested graph was EXACTLY what I was trying to figure out.

Hey man! Thank you so much for making these brilliant hands on tutorial vids for Jetpack Compose. They are really high quality and help me out a lot. Keep up the good work! You are truly one of the best code-RU-vidrs out there!

i searched everywhere for this and your videos always helped me, thank you!

Hi Philipp, though I understood the whole video and it's context but I just think it would have been a little better if you could have added some pictorial demonstration of the navigation which you are taking as an example. Great content as usual!

The solution I was looking for, thanks a lot, Philipp! I love your videos

Just on time for another great guide! I was not aware that it is possible to pop the whole navigation graph using the graph route. I've been using the start destination route for poping the back stack the whole time. 😅

Damn I finally understand, thank you. I couldn’t figure out how to move from one screen to another. Each time, for some reason, I got the controller out again through the remember. Now it’s clear, thank you again

Right at the best moment. Thanks, Philipp, you are amazing!

I was really thinking of implemetning this in a project I'm working on. Thanks for this man

Wie gewohnt toller Content der mir direkt wieder weiter hilft! Noch ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Eine Grafik, die den gesamten Prozess schematisch darstellt kann hier wohlmöglich noch für weitere Klarheit sorgen. Ich persönlich würde vermutlich auch jedem Nested Graph seine eigene file geben, da es in größeren Programmen für mich schnell unübersichtlich wird. Dann kann man schon in der Ordnerstruktur ablesen, welche Graphs es gibt. Wohlmöglich korrelieren die dann sogar mit Feature Modulen und helfen bei der Übersicht über das Projekt ✌

One downside to call out for this approach is that you won't be able to wrap, say, the calendar nested graph inside a Scaffold for things like tab navigation. You either have to wrap the whole NavHost inside one Scaffold and optionally show/hide the app nav bars or use a single composable() as a container for multiple tabs.

Hi Philipp. Thank you for great video. Hope we will see such a videos too long time.

I fixed this example and added UI elements, the PR is available in Philitps' Repo for this video

Quite interesting video !! Thanks for that. Does it mean you don't use anymore this dependency (raamcosta/compose-destinations) in your projects ?

Very informative and helpful tutorial

Hi Philipp, please show us navigation with bottombar(bottom navigation view). It has two navGraph. Managing these is a problem. Make a video about it.

Nice, thanks!

Nice video! 🚀

Nice video as always,

We need more detailed video on this topic such as how to navigate between nested graphs and pass data between

It would be great if it was illustrated with a sample demo

Please make video nested nav with compose destinations libs. Thank you

Thanks for the video, you rock. Very efficient. I didn't find a good practive to navigate from the view model. For example, on the login screen, when you click on the login button, it will trigger a flow that emit loadings ui state then a success state at the end, how to navigate then? - sol 1 : pass a nivagateTo...() lambda function to the @composable screen and check the state in the @composable screen (when uistate is Success, navigateTo...()) - sol 2 : pass a lambda function to the view model and call it from there - sol 3 : the third and best solution Any idea to achieve that properly?

I wonder how it gonna be in larger project, where you have signin/signup feature and 5 screens under Navigation Rail / Bottom Navigation. Should it be like Main NavHost, Nested navigation graph for login, Nested navigation graph for main app, with 5 nested graphs inside?

We need another video for nested navigation

Hi Philipp! How to prevent involuntary recomposition ? 1) Same "fragment" on the screen many recomposition 2) When i navigate to other screen all prev screens recompose . Is this ok ? Can you please provide any fix usign states (HomeState like in your videos ) ? Thanks

Great as always

Thanks a lot. This saved my bacon from having to do a huge refactor!

I was doing exactly same thing, different route group for auth and root app. But ended up embedding another nav host into one of route screen and it was crashing app on visiting the page. This could help me understand nested routing.

do have a video about screen transition?

Phillip is probably one of the biggest Android Influencers of the World? At least no other RU-vidrs comes in my mind. I like his Germany efficiency that i am very familiar with 😂

HI Phillip, as always this was an excellent video! I have a usecase that requires possibly infinite nested navigation. How would one accomplish this? Ideally we could reuse a screen or route and continually add new instances of the screen onto the backstack. Is this possible? The data is in a tree structure which we is returned in a single API call; so we know the depth of the screens we need in the first element. Interacting with the different screens is really just navigating up and down the tree; and on each screen the user is required to make selections. Some of those selections may have customizations which require selections (or sub-selections); and in order to make the selections for the customization requirements the user needs to navigate into a new screen with a lazylist that renders the customization options for that selection. So in order to determine whether a screen is in a valid state you need to have the validation state of the nested screens. This seems a bit awkward for composables. I'd prefer to use one data structure/object for the whole thing to enable screens to not have to figure out what is going on with the next level of nesting. The UI state of a screen would be managed by remember/mutable states for itself (ie the screen selections & are the requirements for that screen met) so the user can interact with a screen and the UI will recompose; but those mutable states would vary depending on the number of requirements of any given screen. I hope that this answers other peoples questions as well :)

I wonder is there any changes on how we use Hilt on Jetpack?

Hi, Is there any library or sdk that can help to measure a distance from object. not asking for measure a object. for example: how do i know how far i am from a particular object if you have any suggestion let me know

Why would you need the helper function if you use dependency injection and already have a instance of the viewmodel created?

Hi Philipp, could you share how to go to specific screen in other nested graph from another nested graph?

How do you address the deeplinking on this nested graphs?

I was using 2.5.3 version, now when I want to update to 2.7.2 am facing some issues, is there any major changes need to be done?

Hi, I cannot find any nice example how to pass nav arguments into nested nav graph down to start destination.

Do you have any jetpack compose course very beginner (noob) to pro. Including everything viewmodels, architecure , depemdy injection , accesing files, modfying, database, repositrys, online offloine etc?? if yes please share the link

How about a video where you show us how to properly update all dependencies in gradle!? :)

How would you handle the case when start destination of the graph accepts optional arguments, since you are navigating to "auth" and not, lets say, login?email={email}

how about with bottom tab and nested

What about navigation between screens with topbar + bottomNavBar and full-size screens? Full size screens might be located in another NavHost which is 'above' the NavHost with screens with top-bottom bars. But then, how would it be possible to navigate from parent NavHost to child NavHost?

Hi philipp,Thank you for good videos,I had a question.I cant speak english very well,sory.Im making an app that have an screen where 3 cards are define with LazyVerticalGrid ,each card navigates to a diffrent screen.now I dont know how can I define the code for clickable that the user will go to his own screen by clicking on each card?🙄

what about if I want to navigate to a screen from a nested graph to another but this screen is not the default destination ... in the video, if I want to navigate from the login to calendar_entry not calendar_overview

Why do we pass around navController rather than defining a CompositionLocal like LocalNavigator?

Good

You can popUpTo(0) or other id or route that your app doesn’t have to remove all the backStack

so how integrates this with bottom nav, since that must contains own nav host and having nested nav host can cause the app to crash. Very confusing in here 🤯

How does this work with deeplink?

Didn't you say your going to use the destinations library going forward instead of the awful accompanist one?

How do you actually navigate from one navHost to another in this case... Could anyone please explain?

btw standard jetpack navigation for Compose just is pain

Update all the playlists Add your recent videos to the corresponding playlist I will be helpful for beginners like me to understand all the topics

Sorry, i have followed you for a while since i learn jetpack compose. Maybe you can give the view result everytime you make the tutorial hehe

I don't know why, all of your videos which is adding some new implements like lifecycle or something like this video and calculator I can't build anything really it always has an error for duplicated implements I think there is a prob with your impllements, can you check them?

I write Your code from video: App crash without errors I copy app from Git: App crash without errors Win10, AS Giraffe, Pixel XP API 33 emulator.

I use a different approach when I want to use a shared view model and have no more than two screens. 1. Create an enum class and a compose mutableState variable using that enum. Dont forget to wrap it in remember block. 2. Declare a when condition passing in that variable and calling your screen composables based on the changing value of the state variable. 3. Change the state in callback lambdas on however you want to navigate through screens. Edit:- 4. You can use BackHandler composable to redirect system Back button callback to your Composables callback lambdas.

Only A few do it right.

The video is good, but it's a bit of a shame not to check the results

Damm Compose navigation sucks badly

Thanks Philip for another wonderful video. I have a question, what if I want to share a Koin view model instead of normal view model. How the sharedViewModel function should look like? I tried to solve it with scopes, but couldn't find the soultion: ` @Composable inline fun NavBackStackEntry.sharedViewModel( navController: NavController ): T { val navGraphRoute = destination.parent?.route ?: return koinViewModel() val parentEntry = remember(this) { navController.getBackStackEntry(navGraphRoute) } val scope = rememberUpdatedState(KoinJavaComponent.getKoin().getScope(parentEntry.id)) return scope.value.get() } `

Need your with an android studio project but can't find your email in the about section. Please

is there more better way than this? @PhilippLackner
