Navigation Architecture Component - Dialog Fragments
Solution 1:
May 2019 Update:
DialogFragment are now fully supported starting from
Navigation 2.1.0, you can read more here and here
Old Answer for Navigation <= 2.1.0-alpha02:
I proceeded in this way:
1) Update Navigation library at least to version 2.1.0-alpha01 and copy both files of this modified gist in your project.
2) Then in your navigation host fragment, change the name parameter to your custom NavHostFragment
<fragment
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="com.example.app.navigation.MyNavHostFragment"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="@navigation/nav_graph"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/toolbar" />
3) Create your DialogFragment subclasses and add them to your nav_graph.xml with:
<dialog
android:id="@+id/my_dialog"
android:name="com.example.ui.MyDialogFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/my_dialog" />
4) Now launch them from fragments or activity with
findNavController().navigate(R.id.my_dialog)
or similar methods.
Solution 2:
No, as of the 1.0.0-alpha01 build, there is no support for dialogs as part of your Navigation Graph. You should just continue to use show() to show a DialogFragment.
Solution 3:
Yes it is possible, You can access view of parent fragment from dialog fragment by calling getParentFragment().getView(). And use the view for navigation.
Here is the example
Navigation.findNavController(getParentFragment().getView()).navigate(R.id.nextfragment);
Solution 4:
Yes. The framework is made in such a way that you can create a class extending the Navigator abstract class for the views that does not come out-of-the box and add it to your NavController with the method getNavigatorProvider().addNavigator(Navigator navigator)
If you are using the NavHostFragment, you will also need to extend it to add the custom Navigator or just create your own MyFragment implementing NavHost interface. It's so flexible that you can create your own xml parameters with custom attrs defined in values, like you do creating custom views. Something like this (not tested):
@Navigator.Name("dialog-fragment")
class DialogFragmentNavigator(
val context: Context,
private val fragmentManager: FragmentManager
) : Navigator<DialogFragmentNavigator.Destination>() {
override fun navigate(destination: Destination, args: Bundle?,
navOptions: NavOptions?, navigatorExtras: Extras?
): NavDestination {
val fragment = Class.forName(destination.name).newInstance() as DialogFragment
fragment.show(fragmentManager, destination.id.toString())
return destination
}
override fun createDestination(): Destination = Destination(this)
override fun popBackStack() = fragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate()
class Destination(navigator: DialogFragmentNavigator) : NavDestination(navigator) {
// The value of <dialog-fragment app:name="com.example.MyFragmentDialog"/>
lateinit var name: String
override fun onInflate(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) {
super.onInflate(context, attrs)
val a = context.resources.obtainAttributes(
attrs, R.styleable.FragmentNavigator
)
name = a.getString(R.styleable.FragmentNavigator_android_name)
?: throw RuntimeException("Error while inflating XML. " +
"`name` attribute is required")
a.recycle()
}
}
}
Usage
my_navigation.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/navigation"
app:startDestination="@id/navigation_home">
<fragment
android:id="@+id/navigation_assistant"
android:name="com.example.ui.HomeFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/home">
<action
android:id="@+id/action_nav_to_dialog"
app:destination="@id/navigation_dialog" />
</fragment>
<dialog-fragment
android:id="@+id/navigation_dialog"
android:name="com.example.ui.MyDialogFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/my_dialog" />
</navigation>
The fragment that will navigate.
class HomeFragment : Fragment(), NavHost {
private val navControllerInternal: NavController by lazy(LazyThreadSafetyMode.NONE){
NavController(context!!)
}
override fun getNavController(): NavController = navControllerInternal
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
// Built-in navigator for `fragment` XML tag
navControllerInternal.navigatorProvider.addNavigator(
FragmentNavigator(context!!, childFragmentManager, this.id)
)
// Your custom navigator for `dialog-fragment` XML tag
navControllerInternal.navigatorProvider.addNavigator(
DialogFragmentNavigator(context!!, childFragmentManager)
)
navControllerInternal.setGraph(R.navigation.my_navigation)
}
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState)
val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.home)
view.id = this.id
view.button.setOnClickListener{
getNavController().navigate(R.id.action_nav_to_dialog)
}
return view
}
}
Solution 5:
I created custom navigator for DialogFragment.
Sample is here.
(It's just sample, so it might be any problem.)
@Navigator.Name("dialog_fragment")
class DialogNavigator(
private val fragmentManager: FragmentManager
) : Navigator<DialogNavigator.Destination>() {
companion object {
private const val TAG = "dialog"
}
override fun navigate(destination: Destination, args: Bundle?,
navOptions: NavOptions?, navigatorExtras: Extras?) {
val fragment = destination.createFragment(args)
fragment.setTargetFragment(fragmentManager.primaryNavigationFragment,
SimpleDialogArgs.fromBundle(args).requestCode)
fragment.show(fragmentManager, TAG)
dispatchOnNavigatorNavigated(destination.id, BACK_STACK_UNCHANGED)
}
override fun createDestination(): Destination {
return Destination(this)
}
override fun popBackStack(): Boolean {
return true
}
class Destination(
navigator: Navigator<out NavDestination>
) : NavDestination(navigator) {
private var fragmentClass: Class<out DialogFragment>? = null
override fun onInflate(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) {
super.onInflate(context, attrs)
val a = context.resources.obtainAttributes(attrs,
R.styleable.FragmentNavigator)
a.getString(R.styleable.FragmentNavigator_android_name)
?.let { className ->
fragmentClass = parseClassFromName(context, className,
DialogFragment::class.java)
}
a.recycle()
}
fun createFragment(args: Bundle?): DialogFragment {
val fragment = fragmentClass?.newInstance()
?: throw IllegalStateException("fragment class not set")
args?.let {
fragment.arguments = it
}
return fragment
}
}
}
