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.

What is the main benefit of using the launchSingleTop parameter in navigation?

It resets the entire back stack before navigating.

To automatically save and restore the state of destinations during navigation.

To cache user data between app sessions.

To enable or disable navigation gestures.

To animate screen transitions during navigation.

None

Which method is used to get the current back stack entry in Compose?

navController.getCurrentEntry()

11.

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.

To refresh the content of the current composable.

To pause the navigation controller.

To change the theme of the destination composable.

None

12.

How can you pass arguments between destinations in Compose navigation?

By including the argument in the route definition and accessing it via the backStackEntry.

By creating a new NavHost instance for each destination.

By using a Bundle object only.

By passing the argument directly in the destination composable function.

None

13.

What does the NavType enumeration help specify?

The type of arguments passed between destinations.

To manage navigation actions and the back stack.

To store user data securely.

To render the UI components of the app.

To perform background data synchronization.

None

15.

What is the purpose of using routes in a navigation graph?

To define the data schema of a database.

To manage background tasks and services.

To uniquely identify each destination in the navigation graph.

To style the UI components of the app.

None

16.

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

To navigate forward without adding to the back stack.

To include new animations during navigation.

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

To create a new NavHost for the navigation.

None

17.

None

20.

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

Disable recomposition in the destination composable.

Use the replaceTop() method of the navigation controller.

Create a new instance of NavHostController each time.

Set launchSingleTop to true in the navigate() method.

None
