Answer 1

No, as of the 1.0.0-alpha01 build, there is no support for dialogs as part of your Navigation Graph. You should just continue to use show() to show a DialogFragment.

Answer 2

Updated for:

implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:2.2.0-rc04"

And use in my_nav_graph.xml

<dialog
android:id="@+id/my_dialog"
android:name="com.example.ui.MyDialogFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/my_dialog" />

Yes it is possible, You can access view of parent fragment from dialog fragment by calling getParentFragment().getView() . And use the view for navigation.

Here is the example

Navigation.findNavController(getParentFragment().getView()).navigate(R.id.nextfragment);
