public interface NavHost

Known direct subclasses
NavHostFragment

NavHostFragment provides an area within your layout for self-contained navigation to occur.
Known indirect subclasses
DynamicNavHostFragment

The NavHostFragment for dynamic features.

A host is a single context or container for navigation via a NavController.

It is strongly recommended to construct the nav controller by instantiating a NavHostController, which offers additional APIs specifically for a NavHost. The NavHostController should still only be externally accessible as a NavController, rather than directly exposing it as a NavHostController.

Navigation hosts must:

Optionally, a navigation host should consider calling:
