What problem does it solve?

Android app navigation in Jetpack Compose often becomes complex and hard to maintain as apps scale. This skill provides expert guidance on setting up a single NavController with NavHost, bottom navigation, type-safe argument passing, savedStateHandle for cross-screen data, and robust testing to avoid common pitfalls.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Setup a single NavController with a central NavHost and dynamic start destinations
• Implement bottom navigation with proper back stack management and state restoration
• Pass primitive route arguments and use savedStateHandle for complex objects and data sharing
• Apply global enter/exit transitions and per-destination overrides to ensure smooth navigation
• Validate navigation flows with tests and guard against common anti-patterns

Quick Start

Wire a single NavController at the host and implement the NavHost with the defined routes to apply these patterns.
