"Implement Jetpack Navigation Component with XML graphs and SafeArgs for type-safe fragment navigation. Use when working with XML-based Navigation Component or SafeArgs in Android. (triggers: navigation/*.xml, findNavController, NavDirections, navArgs)"

Android Legacy Navigation Standards

Priority: P1

1. Set Up Single-Activity Architecture

  • Use one Host Activity with a NavHostFragment.
  • Enable SafeArgs plugin — MANDATORY for passing data between fragments.

See XML graph & SafeArgs examples for NavHostFragment setup.

2. Manage Navigation Graphs

  • Nested Graphs: Modularize navigation/ resources (e.g., nav_auth.xml, nav_main.xml) to keep graphs readable.
  • Deep Links: Define explicit <deepLink> in graph, not AndroidManifest intent filters.

3. Navigate with SafeArgs

See XML graph & SafeArgs examples for type-safe navigation usage.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Raw String Bundle Keys: Use SafeArgs generated type-safe classes.
  • No Manual Fragment commit(): Use NavController for all navigation.
