Setting NavGraph programmatically

Question

In my activity layout, I have the following NavHostFragment:

<fragment
            android:id="@+id/my_nav_host_fragment"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
            app:defaultNavHost="true"
            app:navGraph="@navigation/my_nav_graph" />

My question is how can I set the navGraph programmatically? How can I convert the my_nav_host_fragment view instance in a NavHostFragment instance?

Answer 1

I found a solution:

//Setup the navGraph for this activity
val myNavHostFragment: NavHostFragment = my_nav_host_fragment as NavHostFragment
val inflater = myNavHostFragment.navController.navInflater
val graph = inflater.inflate(R.navigation.my_nav_graph)
myNavHostFragment.navController.graph = graph
