Navigation.findNavController() in Fragment does not work properly-CodePudding

I'm trying develope single-activity application using the navigation to corresponding fragment from my home fragment under certain conditions (see my code fragment below). But when I start application with the condition isLoggedIn == true, an exception appears:

This is a fragment of my code:

package com.example.shercofaqapp.view

import android.content.Context
import android.os.Bundle
import android.text.TextUtils
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.Toast
import androidx.databinding.DataBindingUtil
import androidx.navigation.Navigation
import com.example.shercofaqapp.R
import com.example.shercofaqapp.databinding.FragmentLoginBinding
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseUser
import kotlin.properties.Delegates

class LoginFragment : Fragment() {

    lateinit var binding: FragmentLoginBinding
    private var isLoggedIn by Delegates.notNull<Boolean>()

    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {

        val sharedPref = requireActivity()
            .getSharedPreferences("MyPreferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
        val editor = sharedPref.edit()
        var isLoggingIn = false


        binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(
            inflater, R.layout.fragment_login, container, false)

        binding.apply {
            //Log in / sign up logic
            isLoggedIn = sharedPref.getBoolean("isLoggedIn", false)
            if (isLoggedIn) {
                Navigation.findNavController(requireView())
                    .navigate(R.id.action_loginFragment_to_garageFragment)
            }
        }
        return binding.root
    }
}

The question is: how can I get view for Navigation before onCreateView() return it?

I tried to use this solution, but I don't understand what argument I should pass to .findNavController(...) in my case.

P.S. NavHostFragment is in MainActivity:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
        android:id="@ id/containerView"
        android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:defaultNavHost="true"
        app:navGraph="@navigation/nav_graph" />

</layout>

CodePudding user response：

As per the Navigate to a destination documentation, you should use the findNavController() Kotlin extension on Fragment, which is a convenience wrapper around calling NavHostFragment.findNavController(this):

binding.apply {
    //Log in / sign up logic
    isLoggedIn = sharedPref.getBoolean("isLoggedIn", false)
    if (isLoggedIn) {
        // Make sure to:
        // 1. Add a dependency on navigation-fragment-ktx in your build.gradle
        // 2. import androidx.navigation.fragment.findNavController
        findNavController()
            .navigate(R.id.action_loginFragment_to_garageFragment)
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

findNavController(requireActivity()) .navigate(R.id.action_loginFragment_to_garageFragment)

use this code of line, I think it is helpful for you
