Navigation

Navigation in mobile, desktop, and web applications is such a fundamental part of how we structure our architecture. In order to both obtain functional clarity, and abstraction from platform level implementation. For a long time, there have been options available specific to each platform, and even options part of the platform framework itself. Though it can be difficult to find the right option for platform-agnostic code, ensuring consistency. Some go one step further, providing an opinionated guide on how to architecture your application. ...

Fragments have often been controversial, and to some, the stuff of nightmares, with the inconsistency of lifecycle events, complex UI interaction, and unexpected behaviours making many Android developers suspicious of their usage. But with the development and recent stable publication of the navigation library, it may be the right time to give them a chance. Giving Fragments a second chance is not something I’d ever thought I’d be saying, but it’s a fantastic opportunity to find a solution to sharing data across a single screen. ...
