Adventures in Navigation

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Introduces Android Jetpack Navigation Components: a nav controller + XML nav graph and navHostFragment that centralize routes, actions and back-stack rules (keeps start destination + current). Shows tooling: safe args codegen for type-safe argument passing, Navigation UI helpers for drawer/bottom nav, and deep link builder that creates PendingIntents and manifest intent‑filters. Adds shared‑element support (alpha6) but still requires manual transition setup. Demonstrates working samples (Architecture Components, Sunflower), codelabs, and Instant App / dynamic‑feature integration via nested graphs and implicit deep links.
