The Final Word in Android Navigation

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

An Android navigation talk that diagnoses why navigation remains a hard problem and presents a new, minimal command model with only two actions — open and close — instead of many specific commands (add, replace, backTo, etc.). The approach uses a declared hierarchy of screens, tree-search algorithms and the Decompose library to unify View and Compose screens, support animations, state restoration, dialogs, pagers (including pagers inside dialogs) and other edge cases.
