Shared elements with Navigation Compose

To use shared elements with the navigation-compose dependency, you can use the same concepts as previously shown: Use the Modifier.sharedElement() that takes an AnimatedVisibilityScope as a parameter. You can use this to decide what should be visible and when.

The following is an example of using navigation-compose with shared elements:

@Preview
@Composable
fun SharedElement_PredictiveBack() {
    SharedTransitionLayout {
        val navController = rememberNavController()
        NavHost(
            navController = navController,
            startDestination = "home"
        ) {
            composable("home") {
                HomeScreen(
                    navController,
                    this@SharedTransitionLayout,
                    this@composable
                )
            }
            composable(
                "details/{item}",
                arguments = listOf(navArgument("item") { type = NavType.IntType })
            ) { backStackEntry ->
                val id = backStackEntry.arguments?.getInt("item")
                val snack = listSnacks[id!!]
                DetailsScreen(
                    navController,
                    id,
                    snack,
                    this@SharedTransitionLayout,
                    this@composable
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

@Composable
private fun DetailsScreen(
    navController: NavHostController,
    id: Int,
    snack: Snack,
    sharedTransitionScope: SharedTransitionScope,
    animatedContentScope: AnimatedContentScope
) {
    with(sharedTransitionScope) {
        Column(
            Modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .clickable {
                    navController.navigate("home")
                }
        ) {
            Image(
                painterResource(id = snack.image),
                contentDescription = snack.description,
                contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
                modifier = Modifier.Companion
                    .sharedElement(
                        sharedTransitionScope.rememberSharedContentState(key = "image-$id"),
                        animatedVisibilityScope = animatedContentScope
                    )
                    .aspectRatio(1f)
                    .fillMaxWidth()
            )
            Text(
                snack.name, fontSize = 18.sp,
                modifier =
                Modifier.Companion
                    .sharedElement(
                        sharedTransitionScope.rememberSharedContentState(key = "text-$id"),
                        animatedVisibilityScope = animatedContentScope
                    )
                    .fillMaxWidth()
            )
        }
    }
}

@Composable
private fun HomeScreen(
    navController: NavHostController,
    sharedTransitionScope: SharedTransitionScope,
    animatedContentScope: AnimatedContentScope

    LazyColumn(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .padding(8.dp),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp)
    ) {
        itemsIndexed(listSnacks) { index, item ->
            Row(
                Modifier.clickable {
                    navController.navigate("details/$index")
                }
            ) {

                                animatedVisibilityScope = animatedContentScope
                            )
                            .size(100.dp)
                    )

Predictive back with shared elements

If you want to use predictive back with shared elements, use the latest navigation-compose dependency, using the snippet from the preceding section.

Add android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true" to your AndroidManifest.xml file to enable predictive back:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
       android:maxSdkVersion="28" />

   <application
       android:allowBackup="true"
       android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
       android:label="@string/app_name"
       android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
       android:supportsRtl="true"
       android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true"
       android:theme="@style/Theme.Snippets">
