How to implement NavigationSuite (provided by Material 3) via Kotlin DSL

Question

There doesn't seem to be any tutorial on how to do this the Kotlin DSL way so how can this be implemented correctly?

Groovy DSL

androidx.compose.material3:material3-adaptive-navigation-suite

Kotlin DSL

?

build.gradle.kts (:app)

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.androidApplication)
    alias(libs.plugins.jetbrainsKotlinAndroid)

        versionName = "1.0"

Error message

In the line with implementation(libs.androidx.material3.adaptive.navigation.suite) I get this error message:

Unresolved reference: adaptive

Answer 1

It's done the same. The navigation suite is not different from any other dependency, so just use it the same as the others.

That said, the problem seems to be unrelated to whether you use Kotlin or Groovy, it seems that your dependency is missing in the version catalog. Do you have this in the libraries section of your libs.versions.toml?

androidx-material3-adaptive-navigation-suite = { module = "androidx.compose.material3:material3-adaptive-navigation-suite-android", version = "1.0.0-alpha06" }

It needs a Gradle sync (CTRL+SHIFT+O) for the compiler to remove the red error highlight.
