As per this issue, when using FragmentContainerView
, you need to find the NavController
using findFragmentById()
rather than using findNavController()
when in onCreate()
:
val navHostFragment = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.nav_host_fragment) as NavHostFragment
val navController = navHostFragment.navController
This is because findNavController(R.id.nav_host_fragment)
relies on the Fragment’s View to already be created which isn’t the case when using FragmentContainerView
(as it uses a FragmentTransaction
under the hood to add the NavHostFragment
).
If you are using Fragment 1.4.0 or higher and View Binding, you can simply this considerably by using the getFragment()
method:
val navController = binding.container.getFragment<NavHostFragment>().navController
