Android navigation component open url

Question

I have simple code that opens URL in a browser:

startActivity(Intent(
    Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(resources.getString(R.string.application_url))
))

How can I convert this to the navigation component item?

Do I need to build custom navigator for this, or navigation component has something built in for such case?

Answer 1

I figured it out, for this simple case custom navigator is not needed all you need is to create navigation endpoint:

<activity
    android:id="@+id/navigation_endpoint_id"
    app:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
    app:data="@string/application_url"/>
