How I can retrieve current fragment in NavHostFragment?

Question

I tried to find a method in the new Navigation components but I didn\'t find anything about that.

I have the current destination with :

mainHostFrag

I post my complete answer with androidx. Care : in my case i needed to retrieve one of the child fragment (could not be the first).

In MainActivity you should have something like :

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        DrawerLayout drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
        // Passing each menu ID as a set of Ids because each
        // menu should be considered as top level destinations.
        mAppBarConfiguration = new AppBarConfiguration.Builder(
                 R.id.mytest, R.id.nav_help)
                .setDrawerLayout(drawer)
                .build();
        NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
        NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, mAppBarConfiguration);
        NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView, navController);
...

Then you have to create a method to retrieve the good fragment.

 private MyTestFragment getMyTestFragment(){
        MyTestFragment resultFragment = null;
        Fragment navHostFragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.nav_host_fragment);
        if(navHostFragment != null && navHostFragment.getChildFragmentManager() != null) {
            List fragmentList = navHostFragment.getChildFragmentManager().getFragments();
            for (Fragment fragment : fragmentList) {
                if (fragment instanceof MyTest) {
                    resultFragment = (MyTest) fragment;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return resultFragment;
    }

Finally you get it.
