Try this

in your XML, you will have a view like

   <EditText 
      android:id="@ id/nameInput" 
      android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
      android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
      android:ems="10" 
      android:inputType="textPersonName" 
      android:minHeight="48dp"
      android:textAlignment="center" 
      app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" 
      app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" 
      app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@ id/textView" />

in your activity class add this

 val name : EditText = findViewById(R.id.nameInput)

and get the input text with

name.text.toString()
