Compose Navigation

Overview

Implement type-safe navigation in Jetpack Compose applications using the Navigation Compose library. This skill covers NavHost setup, argument passing, deep links, nested graphs, adaptive navigation, and testing.

Setup

Add the Navigation Compose dependency:

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.8.5")
    
    // For type-safe navigation (recommended)
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.7.3")
}
