Jetpack Navigation 3 is a library for app navigation. This repository contains recipes for how to use its APIs to implement common navigation use cases.
These are the recipes and what they demonstrate.
Basic API examples
- Basic: Shows most basic API usage.
- Saveable back stack: As above, with a persistent back stack.
- Entry provider DSL: As above, using the entryProvider DSL.

- Custom Scene: Shows how to create a custom layout using a
SceneandSceneStrategy(see video of UI behavior below). - Animations: Override the default animations for all destinations and a single destination.
Common use cases
- Common navigation UI: A common navigation toolbar where each item in the toolbar navigates to a top level destination.
- Conditional navigation: Switch to a different navigation flow when a condition is met. For example, for authentication or first-time user onboarding.
Passing navigation arguments to ViewModels
- Basic ViewModel: Navigation arguments are passed to a ViewModel constructed using
viewModel() - Hilt injected ViewModel: Navigation arguments are passed to a ViewModel constructed using
hiltViewModel()
Planned
- Deeplinks: Create and handle deeplinks to specific destinations
- Android XR: Custom navigation and layout behavior for Android XR
- Returning a result from a destination: Return a result to a previous destination
