how do i correctly implement safeargs?

I am trying to follow a tutorial in order to implement and use a room database YouTube-link. My problem is that my gradle files look so different compared to what is shown in the video that I have no idea where to put the id "navigation.safeargs.kotlin" and the

classpath "androidx.navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:2.3.0-rc01"

or anything else that I might need. I have tried a bunch of places but it never works and I couldn't really find an answer, so if anyone knows, pls help me out.

build.gradle(Project:...):

plugins {
        id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.0' apply false

        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.21' apply false

Go straight to the source IMO

Top-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        val nav_version = "2.4.2"
        classpath("androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:$nav_version")
    }
}

App/module build.gradle:

plugins {
    id("androidx.navigation.safeargs")
    // or for Kotlin-only projects
    id("androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin")
}

So in your top-level file, you need google() in your repositories block, and the classpath in your dependencies block. If you don't have one of those blocks, just create it - they go inside the buildscript block, see? The nav_version val is just a variable so you can make all your Navigation components use the same version by referring to that, and the actual version number is only set in one place. You can just write the number in the dependency statement if you like - make sure all the Navigation components are using the same version though!

Stick the id("androidx.navigation.safeargs") line in your module's build file's plugins block. The order sometimes matters for some of these, so try it at the bottom. The syntax is a little different from how they look in your current file, but it's just another way of writing it - either's fine, you can mix and match
