Answer 1

The line of code:

self.root.ids.text_field.text = (''.join(f))

is trying to access the ids of the app root. But the app root is the ScreenManager , which has no ids (because it does not appear in the kv ). That is what causes the error.

The fix is to access the ids of the Readed Screen , because that is where the text_field is defined. Try something like:

self.root.get_screen('Readed').ids.text_field = (''.join(f))

Since root is the ScreenManager , you can use get_screen() to get a reference to the Readed Screen . Once you have that reference, you can use the ids defined in the Screen by the kv .
