In kotlin don t use getters and setters as like in java The correct format of the kotlin is given below   val textView  TextView   findViewById R id android text  as TextView textView setOnClickListener       textView text   getString R string name      To get the values from the Textview we have to use this method   val str  String   textView text toString     println  the value is  str
