NavHostController

Kotlin |Java

public final class NavHostController
extends NavController

java.lang.Object
↳	androidx.navigation.NavController
	↳	androidx.navigation.NavHostController

Subclass of NavController that offers additional APIs for use by a NavHost to connect the NavController to external dependencies.

Apps should generally not construct controllers, instead obtain a relevant controller directly from a navigation host via NavHost.getNavController() or by using one of the utility methods on the Navigation class.

          androidx.navigation.NavController

`void`	`addOnDestinationChangedListener(NavController.OnDestinationChangedListener listener)` Adds an `NavController.OnDestinationChangedListener` to this controller to receive a callback whenever the `getCurrentDestination()` or its arguments change.
`NavDeepLinkBuilder`	`createDeepLink()` Create a deep link to a destination within this NavController.
`NavDestination`	`getCurrentDestination()` Gets the current destination.
`NavGraph`	`getGraph()` Gets the topmost navigation graph associated with this NavController.
`NavInflater`	`getNavInflater()` Returns the `inflater` for this controller.
`NavigatorProvider`	`getNavigatorProvider()` Retrieve the NavController's `NavigatorProvider`.
`ViewModelStore`	`getViewModelStore(int navGraphId)` This method is deprecated. Use `getViewModelStoreOwner(int)`, calling `ViewModelStoreOwner.getViewModelStore()` on the returned ViewModelStoreOwner if you need specifically a ViewModelStore.
`ViewModelStoreOwner`	`getViewModelStoreOwner(int navGraphId)` Gets the `ViewModelStoreOwner` for a NavGraph.This can be passed to `ViewModelProvider` to retrieve a ViewModel that is scoped to the navigation graph - it will be cleared when the navigation graph is popped off the back stack.
`boolean`	`handleDeepLink(Intent intent)` Checks the given Intent for a Navigation deep link and navigates to the deep link if present.
`void`	`navigate(Uri deepLink, NavOptions navOptions, Navigator.Extras navigatorExtras)` Navigate to a destination via the given deep link `Uri`.
`void`	`navigate(int resId, Bundle args)` Navigate to a destination from the current navigation graph.
`void`	`navigate(Uri deepLink)` Navigate to a destination via the given deep link `Uri`.
`void`	`navigate(NavDirections directions)` Navigate via the given `NavDirections`
`void`	`navigate(int resId, Bundle args, NavOptions navOptions, Navigator.Extras navigatorExtras)` Navigate to a destination from the current navigation graph.
`void`	`navigate(NavDirections directions, NavOptions navOptions)` Navigate via the given `NavDirections`
`void`	`navigate(int resId)` Navigate to a destination from the current navigation graph.
`void`	`navigate(int resId, Bundle args, NavOptions navOptions)` Navigate to a destination from the current navigation graph.
`void`	`navigate(NavDirections directions, Navigator.Extras navigatorExtras)` Navigate via the given `NavDirections`
`void`	`navigate(Uri deepLink, NavOptions navOptions)` Navigate to a destination via the given deep link `Uri`.
`boolean`	`navigateUp()` Attempts to navigate up in the navigation hierarchy.
`boolean`	`popBackStack()` Attempts to pop the controller's back stack.
`boolean`	`popBackStack(int destinationId, boolean inclusive)` Attempts to pop the controller's back stack back to a specific destination.
`void`	`removeOnDestinationChangedListener(NavController.OnDestinationChangedListener listener)` Removes an `NavController.OnDestinationChangedListener` from this controller.
`void`	`restoreState(Bundle navState)` Restores all navigation controller state from a bundle.
`Bundle`	`saveState()` Saves all navigation controller state to a Bundle.
`void`	`setGraph(NavGraph graph, Bundle startDestinationArgs)` Sets the `navigation graph` to the specified graph.
`void`	`setGraph(int graphResId, Bundle startDestinationArgs)` Sets the `navigation graph` to the specified resource.
`void`	`setGraph(int graphResId)` Sets the `navigation graph` to the specified resource.
`void`	`setGraph(NavGraph graph)` Sets the `navigation graph` to the specified graph.

Public constructors

NavHostController

public NavHostController (Context context)

Construct a new controller for a given Context suitable for use in a NavHost. Controllers should not be used outside of their context and retain a hard reference to the context supplied. If you need a global controller, pass Context.getApplicationContext().

Note that controllers that are not constructed with an Activity context (or a wrapped activity context) will only be able to navigate to new tasks or new document tasks when navigating to new activities.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: context for this controller

Public methods

enableOnBackPressed

public void enableOnBackPressed (boolean enabled)

Set whether the NavController should handle the system Back button events via the registered OnBackPressedDispatcher.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: True if the NavController should handle system Back button events.

setLifecycleOwner

public void setLifecycleOwner (LifecycleOwner owner)

Sets the host's LifecycleOwner.

Parameters
`owner`	`LifecycleOwner`: The `LifecycleOwner` associated with the containing `NavHost`.

See also:

setOnBackPressedDispatcher(OnBackPressedDispatcher)

setOnBackPressedDispatcher

public void setOnBackPressedDispatcher (OnBackPressedDispatcher dispatcher)

Sets the host's OnBackPressedDispatcher. If set, NavController will register a OnBackPressedCallback to handle system Back button events.

You must explicitly called setLifecycleOwner(LifecycleOwner) before calling this method as the owner set there will be used as the LifecycleOwner for registering the OnBackPressedCallback.

You can dynamically enable and disable whether the NavController should handle the system Back button events by calling enableOnBackPressed(boolean).

Parameters
`dispatcher`	`OnBackPressedDispatcher`: The `OnBackPressedDispatcher` associated with the containing `NavHost`.

Throws
`IllegalStateException`	if you have not called `setLifecycleOwner(LifecycleOwner)` before calling this method.

See also:

setLifecycleOwner(LifecycleOwner)

setViewModelStore

public void setViewModelStore (ViewModelStore viewModelStore)

Sets the host's ViewModelStore used by the NavController to store ViewModels at the navigation graph level. This is required to call NavController.getViewModelStoreOwner(int) and should generally be called for you by your NavHost.

Parameters
`viewModelStore`	`ViewModelStore`: ViewModelStore used to store ViewModels at the navigation graph level
