Navigation drawer showing current destination name in title

Question

I've developed into my app simple Navigation Drawer mechanism. More about code used in app here: https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-ui

The problem's when user's switching between destinations toolbar's title changes so that it displays current location xml layout name:

When restarting or launching app current title is that specified in manifest, when switching to other destination it changes again.

Code of main activity, layout and Kotlin:

Kotlin file:

    private lateinit var prefs : SharedPreferences
    
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        val drawerLayout  = binding.drawerLayout
        val appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(navGraph = navController.graph,drawerLayout)

        binding.toolbar.setupWithNavController(navController,appBarConfiguration)

Nav drawer header:

Answer 1

Those titles are not their respective layout xml's names but are android:labels you set in the nav_graph.

If you want them always be the app's name, set android:label="@string/app_name".
