Android Legacy Navigation

hoangnguyen0403/android-legacy-navigation

Implement Jetpack Navigation Component with XML graphs and SafeArgs for type-safe fragment navigation. Use when working with XML-based navigation or SafeArgs in legacy Android projects; defer drawer and other UI-chrome work to UI skills.

Android Legacy Navigation Standards

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

1. Set Up Single-Activity Architecture

  • Use one Host Activity with NavHostFragment.
  • Enable SafeArgs plugin — MANDATORY for passing data between fragments.

See XML graph & SafeArgs examples 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 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.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take hoangnguyen0403/android-legacy-navigation from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
