Android usually supports navigation with the tab and enter key as described here.
However, when using Jetpack compose this option seems unavailable. Is this true and if yes I wonder what would be the simplest method to navigate a Jetpack Compose Kotlin App using my keyboard?
maybe use the custom navigation as described here ?
or better implement a whole new navigation method as described here?
Thank you for any help

i want to create a swipable component using jetpack compose and as the document Gestures | JetpackCompose I should use rememberSwipeableState.
but when I want to use it I face this error:
Cannot access 'rememberSwipeableState': it is internal in 'androidx.compose.material3'
what should I do?
This issue is already being tracked here, issue in Material3 Compose. Alternatively as per their recommendation
For the time being, we recommend forking Swipeable if you need it in
M3!
you can use Material2 Compose Swipeable and fork it.
I know with Navigation Component, you can easily set up your toolbar to work with it (https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-ui#create_a_toolbar).
You call setupWithNavController and it all magically happens. Then, you get a back arrow whenever you aren't at the start destination.
I am currently working with Jetpack Compose and I'm still new to it. I'm trying to see if navigation component is able to do something similar with the TopAppBar in a Scaffold.
Is there an easy way to set up the nav component with the TopAppBar, or do my navigation icons (back arrows) need to be done manually (call navController.popBackStack as the onClick for these icons)?
In compose, as of compose 1.0.1, at least, you must manually implement it. For a complete understanding, check out this codelab. People are trying to make coding as easy as possible. If it could be automatically done, what you're asking for, it would have been the recommended way in the official codelab, but it isn't. You can file a feature request though.
What exactly is the difference between a ModalDrawer() and Scaffold(DrawerContent)? I seem to recall reading somewhere that the ModalDrawer() incorporates the navigation component. I also think I read that you can't use a ModalDrawer with Scaffold, or that they don't work well together.
When do you want to use one over the other?
I wanted to animate my image logo from Screen A to Screen B. In XML based layouts it was possible using windowContentTransitions & transitionName. So I wanted to ask is something similar available in Jetpack Compose?
I have already seen this https://github.com/mobnetic/compose-shared-element
But, Is there something in-built functionality similar to the XML?
Not supported yet by compose. See this conversation on kotlin-lang: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1616517641495500?thread_ts=1616516302.494300&cid=CJLTWPH7S
Over the past few days I've started to work with the Master/Detail template in Eclipse and I've been trying to figure out a way to take the generated Master/Detail template and convert it to have a navigation drawer-type UI. I imagine that it's possible to do, but how can I go about doing? What do I need to add/remove/modify in order to get similar/identical functionality to a navigation drawer using Master/Detail? I'm asking for assistance creating it using Master/Detail because I have tried other methods with no luck whatsoever. Also, how can I customize the look of it (background color, text color, etc.)?
Thank you in advance for any help in solving this! I have searched relentlessly for a solution with no results unfortunately so I hope that someone in the SO community can assist.
Given that the Navigation Drawer is not appropriate for displaying Master/Detail data (i.e., it is only for navigation, not showing content), then you use the same steps as converting any Activity to using a Navigation Drawer. The Android training Creating a Navigation Drawer goes into extensive detail with all the code you'd need to add a Navigation Drawer to an Activity and properly implement the Navigation Drawer design pattern.
It may make sense to start with a simple Activity, then use what you learn there to apply it to the Master/Detail template.
