SafeArgs is a gradle plugin that allows you to Pass data to destination UI components. It generates simple object and builder classes for type-safe navigation and access to any associated arguments. Safe Args is strongly recommended for navigating and passing data because it ensures type-safety. A sample video is given below to get an idea about what we are going to do in this article. Note that we are going to implement this project using the **Kotlin **language.

Step 1: Create a new project

To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. Note that select Kotlin as the programming language.

Step 2: Add dependency
