simple-stack-compose-integration VS tivi

Yup, that's why we're working on https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack-compose-integration/ to make it as simple as backstack.goTo(SomeScreenKey(arg1, arg2)) instead of this navController.navigateTo("some/screen&arg1=${UrlEncoder.encode(arg1.toBase64())} stuff. If you are working on an Android app that will always be on Android-only, why would you inherit limitations from Kotlin Multi-platform?

We have https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack-compose-integration/ but the fact that I'd normally prefer to use fragments kinda holds it back

However, it's worth noting that thanks to a guy named @matejdro we are working on a pure-Compose version, in which setup has been reduced to

And ,yes, although not being made for Compose, also Simple stack :)

i'd love to recommend simple-stack-compose-integration but i never wrote this missing link

Using any of the 5 prominent community alternatives is a better approach (even though most people hoping to use the docs as if it was like, written for stable code, will muck around with their apps crashing if the user inputs a & symbol). I have this thing but I'd consider taking a look at https://github.com/adrielcafe/voyager or maybe https://github.com/olshevski/compose-navigation-reimagined

If you're deadset on full compose navigation I'd check out Zhuinden`s simple-stack-compose-integration

I'm almost tempted to use multiple ComposeViews, but I'm definitely not using 1 ComposeView N composables any time soon, even though technically I have the code to support it.

Look no more: https://github.com/chrisbanes/tivi

It's definitely the most verbose part of our app and one of the weakest parts of the Jetpack library. We used https://github.com/chrisbanes/tivi for some inspiration on how to organize your navigation structures.

I have considered a few variants around this route. One easy way out would be just to launch a ComponentActivity with a PreferenceFragment like what Chris Banes does in TiVi ... but if you go with PreferenceFragment(Compat) it seems you are kinda stuck with SharedPreferences. If one attempts to supply DataStore wrapped in PreferenceDataStore, it seems types get messed up (TextPreference will store as a String, even if the InputType is number, etc).

Thanks I think what's confusing is that UI events are recommended to be modeled as Flows, which I guess is why Tivi uses Flows for even the simplest actions, but it does a lot of very fancy things. Most repository interactions seem to have an entire class extending an Interactor (e.g.) which catches and emits errors, progress and handles timeouts and does all that crazy queuing stuff with UI "messages" Flow

I would read and study nowinandroid and tivi apps.

Check out the approach from tivi https://github.com/chrisbanes/tivi/blob/main/app/src/main/java/app/tivi/AppNavigation.kt as an idea.

They probably want you to do a module split like in https://github.com/chrisbanes/tivi or https://github.com/igorwojda/android-showcase, but what they probably don't realize is that modularization is a trade-off, namely greatly increased build configuration complexity for... well, having modules.
