Prevent circular fragment stack in bottom navigation using android navgation components

Question

I am using android navigation components with bottom navigation view.

I have 3 fragments in my bottom navigation view, Fragments - A, B, and C.

Expected behavior:
To exit app on pressing back in any fragment.

Observed behavior: A -> B -> C -> A -> B-> back -> A -> back -> C -> back B -> back A -> back -> exit.

(Fragment stack is added for bottom navigation fragments) How to achieve my expected behavior?

My Problem is the same as this one in developer docs, but I have it in bottom navigation view:
https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-getting-started#popupto_example_circular_logic

Code:

Bottom Navigation View Setup:

// Setup bottom navigation view
private fun setUpBottomNavigationView() {


    // Nav host fragment
    val host: NavHostFragment = supportFragmentManager
        ?.findFragmentById(R.id.main_activity_nav_host_fragment) as NavHostFragment

    // Set up Action Bar
    val navController = host.navController

    // Setup bottom navigation view
    mainActivityBinding.mainActivityBottomNavigationView.setupWithNavController(navController)
}

'in your main activity override onbackpress method and finish the Activity like this.'

@Override
    public void onBackPressed() {

        finish();

    }

'this will solve your problem'
