New navigation component from arch with nested navigation graph

Question

I have one case and wish to implement it by arch navigation component. For example I have 2 Nav Graphs (main and nested). Can I call main graph from nested and how?

I found a temporary solution to the problem of inner NavController being covered. You can use custom NavHostFragment which provides you with desired navController. My code:

<androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
        ...
        android:name="MyNavHostFragment"
        app:defaultNavHost="false"
        app:navGraph="@navigation/inner_nav">
        ...
    </androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView>

...

class MyNavHostFragment: NavHostFragment() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        MainFragment.innerNavController = navController
    }
}

...

class MainFragment : Fragment() {
    companion object{
        lateinit var innerNavController: NavController
    }

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
        val bottomNavigationView = 
             view!!.findViewById<BottomNavigationView>(R.id.bottom_navigation_view)
        bottomNavigationView.setupWithNavController(innerNavController)
    }
}
