Android navigation component library is causing ANR

Question

An ANR is getting reported on Google Play Console. After analyzing the stacktrace it points towards a method which is called after onInflate of Navigation Component. Following is the StackTrace.

On the top of StackTrace it points towards a method inside the Navigation Component library. Following is the code.

@JvmStatic
    @RestrictTo(RestrictTo.Scope.LIBRARY_GROUP)
    public fun getDisplayName(context: Context, id: Int): String {
        // aapt-generated IDs have the high byte nonzero,
        // so anything below that cannot be a valid resource id
        return if (id <= 0x00FFFFFF) {
            id.toString()
        } else try {
            context.resources.getResourceName(id)
        } catch (e: Resources.NotFoundException) {
            id.toString()
        }
    }

This method is getting called multiple times during the inflation of NavGraph, which is causing ANR because triggers the blocking chain (nativeGetResourceName → ToFormattedResourceString → je_malloc), involving disk I/O and
