How to navigate from nested Fragment to parent fragment using Jetpack Navigation?

Issue

I have main navigation: SplashFragment -> RegistrationFragment -> RootFragment

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/splashFragment"
    android:name="com.low6.low6.features.splash.SplashFragment"
    android:label="Splash"
    tools:layout="@layout/fragment_splash" >
    <action
        android:id="@+id/action_next"
        app:clearTask="true"
        app:destination="@id/registrationFragment" />
</fragment>

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/registrationFragment"
    android:name="com.low6.low6.features.registration.RegistrationFragment"
    android:label="Register">
    <action
        android:id="@+id/action_next"
        app:clearTask="true"
        app:destination="@id/rootFragment" />
</fragment>

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/rootFragment"
    android:name="com.low6.low6.core.RootFragment"
    android:label="@string/home"
    tools:layout="@layout/fragment_root" />

And I have nested registration navigation: RegistrationPersonalFragment -> RegistrationContactFragment -> RegistrationSecurityFragment

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/registrationPersonalFragment"
    android:name="com.low6.low6.features.registration.RegistrationPersonalFragment"
    android:label="Register">

    <action
        android:id="@+id/action_next"
        app:destination="@+id/registrationContactFragment" />
</fragment>

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/registrationContactFragment"
    android:name="com.low6.low6.features.registration.RegistrationContactFragment"
    android:label="Register">

    <action
        android:id="@+id/action_next"
        app:destination="@+id/registrationSecurityFragment" />
</fragment>

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/registrationSecurityFragment"
    android:name="com.low6.low6.features.registration.RegistrationSecurityFragment"
    android:label="Register">

    <action
        android:id="@+id/action_next"
        app:destination="@+id/rootFragment" />
</fragment>

How to redirect from the last nested RegistrationSecurityFragment to RootFragment using Jetpack Navigation component?

Currently

<action
    android:id="@+id/action_next"
    app:destination="@+id/rootFragment" />

And

   navigateTo(R.id.action_next)

Gives me

Solution

If you have more than one navigation graph, please make sure you're using the right navigation controller. Using Navigation.findNavController(view) in some cases you might need to get your root view to get the root's navigation. Hope, this'll help.
