Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView cannot be cast to androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment

Question

I have this error in my Nav Controler, I already changed declarations in XML but it didn't help, I changed Fragment for FragmenContainer but it didn't help. Can anyone help me with this error?

Log:

when clicking, the error is being pulled to that line: main_activity_bottom_navigation.setupWithNavController(pokemons_activity_nav_host.findNavController())

I can't find a solution for this, can someone help me?

Answer 1

You should first get the navController before setting it up. Like below :

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity)
configBottomNavegacao()
configNavDrawer()

val navHostFragment = supportFragmentManager
    .findFragmentById(R.id.pokemons_activity_nav_host) as NavHostFragment
val navController = navHostFragment.navController

// Now set the navController----------------------------------------
  main_activity_bottom_navigation.setupWithNavController(navController )


toggle = ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, R.string.open, R.string.close )
drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle)
toggle.syncState()

supportActionBar?.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true)

navView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener {
    when(it.itemId){
        R.id.drawer_camera -> dispatchCameraIntent()
        R.id.drawer_fav -> dispatchFavoritosIntent()
    }
    true
  }
}
