Flow is a Java library for Android that names UI states as immutable key objects, navigates between them, and preserves navigation history across configuration changes and process death. It is deprecated; Square recommends its successor, Square Workflow.
Use cases
- manage android activity navigation with named ui states
- handle back button navigation without surprising users
- restore ui state and history after process death
- share and dispose resources per screen with setup and teardown hooks
- manage master-detail views and dialogs in android apps
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already built on Flow
- you need simple key-based navigation history on Android and cannot adopt Workflow
When to avoid
- starting any new Android project - it is deprecated
- you want an actively maintained navigation solution - use Square Workflow instead
- you need cross-platform or Compose-based navigation
