Migration guide
Navigation 2 to Navigation 3 migration guide:
Step-by-step guide to migrate an Android application from Navigation 2 to Navigation 3, covering
dependency updates, route changes, state management, and UI component replacements.
Requirements
Guide: Migrate to type-safe navigation in Compose :
Step-by-step guide to migrating an Android application from string-based navigation to Type-Safe
Navigation in Jetpack Compose using Jetpack Navigation 2.
Developer documentation
- Navigation 3. Search documentation
for more information on basics, saving and managing navigation state, modularizing navigation
code, creating custom layouts using Scenes, animating between destinations, or applying logic or
wrappers to destinations.
Recipes
Code examples showcasing common patterns.
Basic API usage
- Basic: Shows most basic API
usage.
Saveable back stack:
Shows basic API usage with a persistent back stack.
Entry provider DSL:
Shows basic API usage using the entryProvider DSL.
Common UI
- Common UI: Demonstrates
how to implement a common navigation UI pattern with a bottom navigation bar and multiple back
stacks, where each tab in the navigation bar has its own navigation history.
Deep links
- Basic:
Shows how to parse a deep link URL from an Android Intent into a navigation key.
- Advanced:
Shows how to handle deep links with a synthetic back stack and correct "Up" navigation behavior.
Scenes
Use built-in Scenes
- Dialog: Shows how to
create a Dialog.
Create custom Scenes
- BottomSheet: Shows
how to create a BottomSheet destination.
List-Detail Scene:
Demonstrates how to implement adaptive list-detail layouts using the Navigation 3 Scenes API.
- Two pane Scene:
Demonstrates how to implement adaptive two-pane layouts using the Navigation 3 Scenes API.
Material Adaptive
Material List-Detail:
Demonstrates how to implement an adaptive list-detail layout using Material 3 Adaptive.
Material Supporting Pane:
Demonstrates how to implement an adaptive supporting pane layout using Material 3 Adaptive.
Animations
- Animations: Shows how
to override the default animations for all destinations and a single destination.
Common back stack behavior
Multiple back stacks:
Shows how to create multiple top level routes, each with its own back stack. Top level routes are
displayed in a navigation bar allowing users to switch between them. State is retained for each top
level route, and the navigation state persists config changes and process death.
Conditional navigation
Conditional navigation:
Switch to a different navigation flow when a condition is met. For example, for authentication or
first-time user onboarding.
Architecture
Modularized navigation code (Hilt):
Demonstrates how to decouple navigation code into separate modules using Hilt or Dagger for DI.
Modularized navigation code (Koin):
Demonstrates how to decouple navigation code into separate modules using Koin for DI.
Working with ViewModel
Passing navigation arguments
Basic ViewModel :
Navigation arguments are passed to a ViewModel constructed using viewModel()
Returning results
Returning Results as Events :
Returning results as events to content in another NavEntry
Returning Results as State :
Returning results as state stored in a CompositionLocal
