I have a simple single Activity app, the activity has only a toolbar and a FragmentContainerView
that acts as the NaHost
.
In one of my main screens, I have a Fragment
that contains a BottomNavigationView
that should toggle between 3 child Fragments. This parent fragment has also a FragmentContainerView
that is also defined as a NavHost
for the child fragments.
Can this setup work by just using one NavGraph
? How can I tell the the navigation component which NavHost
to use when switching between main screens which is different to when clicking on the BottomNavigationView
items?
