Managing In-App Navigation with the Navigation Architecture Component

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

The talk explains Android Jetpack’s Navigation Architecture Component (v1.0.0‑beta01), a library and tooling that manages fragment transactions, builds correct back stacks for deep links, and generates type‑safe navigation code via SafeArgs (Directions classes). It demos XML navigation graphs, mapping fragment arguments to URIs, shows Kotlin vs Java code generation differences and the Navigation Editor visualization, and recommends keeping the nav graph in a shared core module for multi‑module apps because fragment instantiation uses runtime reflection.
