bottomtabnavigation-jetpackcompose's Issues

Alternative Approach

Hi , When i was adapting this code for my app i faced an issue with NavigationScreens.kt , basically it was a navigation related exception error .

I solved it by using my equivalent of NavigationScreens() inside of MainActivity instead of MainScreen() . (i kept the bottom bar within the NavigationScreens() which was earlier in MainScreen()).

@SuppressLint("UnusedMaterial3ScaffoldPaddingParameter")
@Composable
fun NavigationScreens() {
    val navController = rememberNavController()
    Scaffold(bottomBar = {
        BottomAppBar { BottomNavigationBar(navController = navController) }
    }) {
    }
 NavHost(navController = navController, startDestination = NavItem.Home.path) {

           composable(NavItem.Home.path){
               HomeScreen(navController = navController)
           }
}

I think it would be a better approach as we are directly utilizing our Navigation at first instance which itself would start the homeScreen as intended . MainScreen could be removed and its components could be kept directly inside the NavigationScreens()
