navigation.rs

1//! System "back" navigation requests.
2//!
3//! A platform back affordance — Android's back key / gesture, iOS's left-edge
4//! swipe — feeds [`push_back_request`]; the app drains it with
5//! [`take_back_requests`] and pops its own navigation. This gives one API
6//! across platforms for what is otherwise a per-OS gesture.
7//!
8//! Whether the platform *routes* its back control here is governed by
9//! [`set_back_interception`], the analogue of Compose's `BackHandler(enabled)`:
10//!
11//! - **Android**: while interception is enabled the back key/gesture is
12//!   consumed and lands in [`push_back_request`]; while disabled it stays with
13//!   the system, so the default behavior (leaving the activity) keeps working.
14//!   Apps enable it exactly while they have somewhere to navigate back to.
15//! - **iOS**: the left-edge swipe is a framework-drawn gesture with no system
16//!   fallback, so it always pushes a request regardless of interception.
17//! - **Desktop/web**: no OS back control; apps may map keys themselves and
18//!   call [`push_back_request`] directly.
19//!
20//! [`request_exit`] is the other direction: the app, rather than the platform,
21//! deciding that it is time to leave.

48///
49/// [`take_back_requests`] alone is a polling API, which quietly assumes the app
50/// is already running a frame loop to poll from. An app that has gone idle —
51/// the correct thing to do on a screen where nothing moves — has no such loop,
52/// and a back gesture would sit in the counter until something unrelated woke
53/// it. The listener closes that gap: it is the nudge, the counter is still the
54/// source of truth, and the app drains it as before.
55///
56/// Called from whatever thread the platform reports back on, which is not
57/// necessarily the UI thread, so the callback must be `Send + Sync`. It should
58/// do as little as possible — waking a parked task is the intended use.
59///
60/// Registrations form a stack. The most recently installed observer receives
61/// requests, matching nested Compose `BackHandler`s. Dropping it restores the
62/// observer beneath it.

150/// The counterpart to [`set_back_interception`]`(false)`: interception says
151/// "let the platform's own back control take me out of here", and this says
152/// the same thing when the app is the one that decided. An app needs it
153/// whenever it owns the affordance that means "leave":
154///
155/// - a screen-level dismiss gesture the app draws itself. On Android a
156///   `NativeActivity` consumes every pointer event on the display, so the
157///   platform's window-level swipe never fires and the app's own gesture is
158///   the only one there is — completing it has to close the app, and there is
159///   no back key on a watch to fall back on.
160/// - a Quit item in the app's own menu.
161///
162/// It is a request, not a teardown: the platform decides when the frame loop
163/// stops, so it is safe to call from the middle of one — including from a
164/// gesture's settle animation, which is where the decision usually lands.
165///
166/// The backend drains it on its next turn of the loop, which is the following
167/// frame for the usual caller. An app that calls this from another thread while
168/// the loop is parked — nothing animating, no input — should wake it the same
169/// way it would for a back request; registering
170/// [`observe_back_requests`] is enough, because this nudges that listener
171/// too.
172///
173/// Platform behaviour, and where it does nothing:
174///
175/// - **Android**: finishes the activity, the same outcome as Compose's
176///   `backDispatcher.onBackPressed()` on a screen with no `BackHandler`.
177/// - **Desktop**: exits the event loop, closing the window.
178/// - **iOS**: nothing. Apple's guidelines forbid an app terminating itself and
179///   there is no supported API for it; the request is dropped rather than
180///   faked, so an app can call this unconditionally.
181/// - **Web**: nothing. A page cannot close a tab it did not open.
