I've got the following Activity
, which is the single one in my app:
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
PermissionState state = PermissionState.get(this);
if (state == PermissionState.GRANTED) {
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(-1));
}
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ActivityMainBinding mainActivityBinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
setSupportActionBar(mainActivityBinding.toolbarMain);
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(mainActivityBinding.toolbarMain, Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment));
}
}
The layout associated with the Activity
is the following and was created following this Android Developers tutorial.
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
<fragment
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="@navigation/nav_graph" />
</LinearLayout>
</layout>
The navigation graph is the following:
nav_graph.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<navigation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/nav_graph"
app:startDestination="@id/mainFragment">
<fragment
android:id="@+id/mainFragment"
android:name="com.example.myapp.MainFragment"
android:label="@string/app_name"
tools:layout="@layout/fragment_main">
<action
android:id="@+id/action_mainFragment_to_settingsFragment"
app:destination="@+id/settingsFragment" />
</fragment>
<fragment
android:id="@+id/settingsFragment"
android:name="com.example.myapp.SettingsFragment"
android:label="@string/settings" />
</navigation>
Now, other than the hosting Activity
, my app has two Fragment
s, one is the main, the other is for settings.
The main Fragment
is the start destination of my app, and there I would like to retrieve the MainActivity variable "PermissionState state" to perform some actions based on the state of the permissions, like hiding or showing some View
s.
Using Android Architecture Component Navigation API version 1.0.0-beta01
onwards, what is the correct, nondeprecated strategy to pass data from the hosting Activity
to the start destination Fragment
, maybe using Safe Args if possible?
Find a solution,works fine but i don't like it there's must be a better solution for that.
In your Activity:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val navController = findNavController(R.id.nav_controller_fragment)
val bundle = Bundle()
bundle.putString("name","your value")
navController.setGraph(navController.graph,bundle)
}
In your start Fragment:
val args: MainFragmentArgs by navArgs()
textView.text = args.name
In your navGraph:
<navigation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/mobile_navigation"
app:startDestination="@id/mainFragment">
<fragment android:id="@+id/mainFragment"
android:name="com.haidar.mediasaver.fragments.MainFragment"
android:label="main_fragment"
tools:layout="@layout/main_fragment">
<argument android:name="name"
app:argType="string"/>
</fragment>
