java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Navigation action/destination

Question

I'm building a notes application. I want to save the note when user press the back button from the createsNotesFragment and finish the createNotesFragment so that I can move to the homeFragment. The code I've used to do this is below:

activity?.onBackPressedDispatcher?.addCallback(this){
            saveNote()
            activity?.supportFragmentManager?.popBackStack()
        }

This is working fine. But when I try to again open the createNotesFragment to add an another note it shows me this error.

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Here is my nav Graph

    </fragment>
</navigation>

I don't understant why after popBackStack() I'm not able to open the createNotesFragment again. Is there any alternative of popBackStack or what I'm missing?

Answer 1

you could try check current destination of your current screen like this:

//id = nav graph fragment id
        if (findNavController().currentDestination?.id == id) {
            //do something here
            findNavController().popBackStack()
        }

Answer 2

nav Graph file,

 <fragment
        android:id="@+id/createNotesFragment" 
  android:name="com.example.lavanianotesapp.UI.Fragments.CreateNotesFragment"
        android:label="@string/fragment_create_notes"
        tools:layout="@layout/fragment_create_notes">
        <action
            android:id="@+id/action_createNotesFragment_to_homeFragment"
            app:destination="@id/nav_home"
            app:launchSingleTop="true"
            app:popUpTo="@id/nav_trip"
            app:popUpToInclusive="true">
            <argument
                android:name="trip_info_response"
                android:defaultValue="@null"
                app:argType="com.example.lavanianotesapp.UI.entities.TripInfoData"
                app:nullable="true" />
        </action>

User press the back button from the createsNotesFragment file,

activity?.onBackPressedDispatcher?.addCallback(this){
            saveNote()
            findNavController().popBackStack()
        }
