IllegalArgumentException navigation destination xxx is unknown to this NavController

0 votes

I am having issue with the new Android Navigation Architecture component when I try to navigate from one Fragment to another.

I get this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: navigation destination XXX
is unknown to this NavController

Every other navigation works fine except this particular one.

I use findNavController() function of Fragment to get access to the NavController. How to solve the error?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello @kartik,

Check currentDestination before calling navigate might be helpful.

For example, if you have two fragment destinations on the navigation graph fragmentA and fragmentB, and there is only one action from fragmentA to fragmentB. calling navigate(R.id.action_fragmentA_to_fragmentB) will result in IllegalArgumentException when you were already on fragmentB. Therefor you should always check the currentDestination before navigating.

if (navController.currentDestination?.id == R.id.fragmentA) {
    navController.navigate(R.id.action_fragmentA_to_fragmentB)
}

Hope this work!!
