I’m building my own app in Android
I’m using Navigation component to navigate between fragments.
It’s logged IllegalArgumentException: Navigation action/destination cannot be found from the current destination in Crashlytics of Firebase. Testers and I have tried the test many times but haven’t been able to reproduce that problem and it didn’t crash.

Here is the log:

Here is my code in version that older than 1.7.3 version:

@AndroidEntryPoint
class MainActivity :
    BaseActivity<ActivityMainBinding, ActivityMainViewModel>(R.id.nav_host, R.navigation.nav_main) {

    ...
  override fun setupViews() {
    setStatusBarColor(R.color.white)
    binding.main.post {
      when (loginState) {
        OnBoardingState.FIRST_TIME.value -> {
          if (isLanguageSet) {                             
  47 ->     navHostController.navigate(R.id.action_mainFragment_to_onBoardingFragment)
          } else {
            navHostController.navigate(R.id.action_mainFragment_to_languageFragment)
          }
        }

        OnBoardingState.FINISHED.value -> {
  54 ->   navHostController.navigate(R.id.action_mainFragment_to_dashBoardFragment)
        }
      }
      true
    }
  }
   ...

}

Here is my 1.7.3 version code:

        binding.main.post {
            when (loginState) {
                LoginState.FIRST_TIME.value -> {
                    if (isLanguageSet) {
                        safeNavigate(
                            navHostController?.currentDestination?.id,
                            R.id.action_mainFragment_to_onBoardingFragment
                        )
                    } else {
                        safeNavigate(
                            navHostController?.currentDestination?.id,
                            R.id.action_mainFragment_to_languageFragment
                        )
                    }
                }

                LoginState.LOGGED_IN.value -> {
                    safeNavigate(

I tried to catch the IllegalArgumentException error but it’s still logged in the crashlytics of Firebase:

        currentDestination: Int?,
        action: NavDirections
    ) {
        if (navHostController?.currentDestination?.id == currentDestination) {
            lifecycle.addObserver(object : LifecycleEventObserver {
                override fun onStateChanged(source: LifecycleOwner, event: Lifecycle.Event) {
                    if (event == Lifecycle.Event.ON_RESUME) {
                        lifecycle.removeObserver(this)
                        try {
                            navHostController?.navigate(action)
                        } catch (e: IllegalArgumentException) {
                            e.printStackTrace()
                        }
                    }
                }
            })
        }
    }
