Compose Navigation Quiz

Welcome to the quiz on Navigation in Compose! This quiz will test your understanding of key concepts such as navigation controllers, navigation graphs, routes, passing arguments, and managing the navigation back stack in Android apps using Jetpack Compose. Each question will challenge your knowledge of implementing smooth and efficient navigation flows.

NavBar and NavController

BottomSheet and NavGraph

BottomAppBar and NavDrawer

BottomNavigation and BottomNavigationItem

None

How can you pass arguments between destinations in Compose navigation?

None

14.

Why is it recommended to use a sealed class for routes?

It enhances runtime performance of the app.

It is the only way to define routes in Compose.

None

15.

What is a common use case for using the popUpTo() method with the inclusive option?

To create a new NavHost for the navigation.

To pop the specified destination off the stack as well as all destinations above it.

To navigate forward without adding to the back stack.

To include new animations during navigation.

None

16.

Why is the currentBackStackEntryAsState() method used in bottom navigation?

To fetch data from a remote server.

To determine the currently selected navigation item.

To refresh the entire navigation stack.

To animate bottom bar transitions.

None

17.

What does the NavType enumeration help specify?

The size of the navigation back stack.

The type of arguments passed between destinations.

The theme to be applied to the NavHost.

The animation used during screen transitions.

None

18.

How can you avoid pushing multiple instances of the same destination onto the back stack?

Create a new instance of NavHostController each time.

Use the replaceTop() method of the navigation controller.

Set launchSingleTop to true in the navigate() method.

Disable recomposition in the destination composable.

None

19.

What is the function of the popUpTo() method when used with the navigate() method?

To remove all composables from the back stack until a specific destination is reached.

By using the NavHost and specifying destinations within it.

By creating a new instance of NavGraphController.

By listing routes in a configuration file.

None
