Why Do You Need Yet Another Component?
Navigating between screens — passing data, handling the back stack, implementing deep links, etc. — can be complicated. It also comes with quite a bit of boilerplate. To top it off, you should adhere to the new principles of navigation:
The app should have a fixed start destination.
A stack is used to represent the navigation state of an app.
The Up button never exits your app.
Up and Back are equivalent within your app’s task.
Deep linking to a destination or navigating to the same destination should yield the same stack.
By using the Navigation architecture component, you provide a consistent and predictable experience to users — hassle and boilerplate free.
