I have two activities A and B and Three fragments C,D and E.
I used intent to move from activity A to B and didn't finish activity A as I want to get back to it later.
Activity B contains a custom layout and a fragment container.
Fragment C is Start destination and navigation graph allows navigation as C->D->E and back stack in following order.
C->D //After first back Stack
C //After Second back Stack reached final element in back stack.
A //Activity B is finish and Activity A is resumed after pressing one more back icon image
On press back icon image view of custom layout in activity B xml.
As there is no other action bar in any Fragment(C, D, E) so I can only use back icon image view of activity B.
I want to know how I can achieve this functionality My activity B xml is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

custom layout used as action bar
Activity B when navgraph start destination is set to C fragment
1- First in your Activity B get the navController:
val navHostFragment = binding.navHostDashboardFragment.getFragment<NavHostFragment>()
val navController = navHostFragment.navController
2- Then you can add a click listener to your back button:
binding.toolbarSettingsActivity.ivBack.setOnClickListener {
val isStackPopped = navController.popBackStack() // Navigate back to the last fragment
if (!isStackPopped) finish() // If there is no fragments in the stack finish the activity and go back to activity A
}
