Android Navigation
CommunityHoangNguyen0403
Implement screen routes and deep-link/App Link routing with Jetpack Compose Navigation on Android. Use when the primary task is Compose route configuration or external URL routing; defer typed-route APIs, XML/fragments, generic back-stack, and transition questions to their specific navigation skills.

Android Navigation (Jetpack Compose)
Priority: P2 (MEDIUM)
Guidelines
- Library: Use
androidx.navigation:navigation-compose. - Type Safety: Use sealed classes for routes, never raw strings.
- Deep Links: Configure
intent-filterin Manifest anddeepLinksin NavHost. - Validation: Validate arguments (e.g., proper IDs) before loading content.
Anti-Patterns
- No String Routes: Use
Screen.Product.routeinstead of"product/$id". - No Unvalidated Deep Links: Check resource existence before rendering.
- No Missing Manifest: Deep links require
autoVerify=trueintent filters.

FAQ
What does Android Navigation do?
Implement screen routes and deep-link/App Link routing with Jetpack Compose Navigation on Android. Use when the primary task is Compose route configuration or external URL routing; defer typed-route APIs, XML/fragments, generic back-stack, and transition questions to their specific navigation skills.
Who made Android Navigation?
HoangNguyen0403 (a community member) publishes it in the HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard repository on GitHub.
Is Android Navigation free?
Yes. Android Navigation is open source, published by HoangNguyen0403 under the MIT license.
What comes with Android Navigation?
Its instructions and 2 files the agent reads only when a task needs them, such as references, examples or scripts.
Which agents can use Android Navigation?
Any coding agent that reads SKILL.md files, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI. The agent loads the skill when a task matches its description.
What are agent skills?
An agent skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: instructions that teach a coding agent how to do one kind of task, and optionally files it can read while it works. The agent keeps only the skill's name and description in mind and reads the rest when a task calls for it.
How are agent skills different from MCP servers?
An MCP server gives an agent new tools to call, code that runs somewhere and returns results. A skill gives it knowledge: how to approach a task with the tools it already has. Many agents use both.
How can my agent test my Android app?
Robomori lets coding agents create, start and control Android emulators and devices from one command, so they can install your app, take screenshots and check dark mode, font sizes and languages.
Learn how to install and migrate to Jetpack Navigation 3, and how to implement features and patterns such as deep links, multiple backstacks, scenes (dialogs, bottom sheets, list-detail, two-pane, supporting pane), conditional navigation (such as logged-in navigation versus anonymous), returning results from flows, integration with Hilt, ViewModel, Kotlin, and view interoperability.
Intercept back gestures and run Predictive Back animations using the NavigationEvent (androidx.navigationevent) library in Compose Android. Handles Activity setup, parent-child dispatcher scoping in `ViewPagers` or tabs, Compose `NavigationBackHandler`, and migration from legacy `BackHandler` on SDK 36+.
Use when writing or reviewing Jetpack Compose UI for TV, keyboard, desktop, accessibility focus, D-pad navigation, FocusRequester, focusProperties, key events, or initial focus behavior.
Install and migrate to Jetpack Navigation 3. Use when implementing Navigation 3 patterns including NavDisplay, NavKey routes, deep links, multiple backstacks, scenes (dialogs, bottom sheets), or migrating from Navigation 2.
