    var a: String = ""
    var list = mutableListOf<String>()
    var b: Long = 0L
    var c: Long = 1L

    var d: Double = 1.0
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        num1.setOnClickListener {
            all_result.setText(all_result.getText().append("1"))
            a = all_result.getText().toString()        
}        
}    
}

Answer 1

It seems that all_result in your case is EditText . In this case getText() returns Editable , but not String or StringBuilder . So, you should write something like this: "${all_result.getText().toString()}1" to concatenate existing string in EditText with '1'
