Deeplinking with Navigation component with Individual Stack

Question

I have two urls which falls under the same deep link like below :

xxx.yyy.zzz/pages

xxx.yyy.zzz/how-deeplinks-work-exactly

Now the first one is a list of pages which goes to a fragment which lists the list of pages and second goes to a fragment which shows the details of that page.

Scenario :

https://github.com/android/architecture-components-samples/tree/master/NavigationAdvancedSample

I am following the above sample for having independent stacks for each tab. When I have two different deep links for the above two links, it navigates to both the fragments. Like when I open the app with xxx.yyy.zzz/pages url it opens both the PagesFragment and DetailFragment one after another. So when I press back button from PagesFragment it navigates back to DetailFragment.

Now how do I handle these two scenario with deep links. If have both the deep links setup it navigates to both the screens one by one. I know I can change the path and add a prefix the page detail url(xxx.yyy.zzz/page/how-deeplinks-work-exactly), but is there anyway I can intercept the parsing logic or add some exclude condition to achieve this without changing the url scheme?

Edit : This is likely an issue with the Navigation logic (NavigationExtensions.kt) written for having individual stack.

Answer 1

You shouldn't use NavigationExtensions.kt anymore, instead increase your navigation component library version. Check this article out: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/navigation-multiple-back-stacks-6c67ba41952f

Perhaps upgrading the lib version also changes the behaviour of your app with respect to the deep links
