android-legacy-navigation
Implement Jetpack Navigation Component with XML graphs and SafeArgs for type-safe fragment navigation. Use when working with XML-based Navigation Component or SafeArgs in Android. (triggers: navigation/*.xml, findNavController, NavDirections, navArgs)
Best use case
android-legacy-navigation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using android-legacy-navigation should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# Android Legacy Navigation Standards ## **Priority: P1** ## 1. Set Up Single-Activity Architecture - Use one Host Activity with a `NavHostFragment`. - Enable SafeArgs plugin — MANDATORY for passing data between fragments. See [XML graph & SafeArgs examples](references/implementation.md) for NavHostFragment setup. ## 2. Manage Navigation Graphs - **Nested Graphs**: Modularize `navigation/` resources (e.g., `nav_auth.xml`, `nav_main.xml`) to keep graphs readable. - **Deep Links**: Define explicit `<deepLink>` in graph, not AndroidManifest intent filters. ## 3. Navigate with SafeArgs See [XML graph & SafeArgs examples](references/implementation.md) for type-safe navigation usage. ## Anti-Patterns - **No Raw String Bundle Keys**: Use SafeArgs generated type-safe classes. - **No Manual Fragment commit()**: Use NavController for all navigation. ## References - [XML Graph & SafeArgs](references/implementation.md)
