Displaying back button in the scaffold

See original GitHub issue

This is more of a feature request and less of a bug/issue.

Problem How to know that the current screen is a top screen and there is no need to show back button. The counter-part of this issue is also true, which would be how to know the current screen has a predecessor or not.

Requested feature There should be a way to know when to show the back button in the scaffold, this way we can show the back button based on the graph dynamically instead of hard-coding it in the scaffold.

Suggestion Add a method in Navigator to check if the current screen has a predecessor or not, if it has then it can return true, else false.

Hi @raamcosta

No, I haven’t tried it with Jetpack Compose Navigation, but I have done it with the Jetpack Navigation library, maybe that’ll give you some insights.

Please refer to these links

Update UI components with NavigationUI - https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-ui
NavigationUI - https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/navigation/ui/NavigationUI

The Navigation component includes a NavigationUI class. This class contains static methods that manage navigation with the top app bar, the navigation drawer, and the bottom navigation.

With the help of NavigationUI API, we can manage the content of the UI components w.r.t navigation from a central location like MainActivity.
