KivyMD, Kivy, ScreenManager, TextField do not change the text

Question

When I try to grab the Text value from my TextField, I always get empty. At the same time, if I set the default text value, for example "123", then regardless of whether I enter anything into my TextField into the console, I still get "123". I had a guess that it might be due to some kind of screen duplication, but when I call self.root.get_screen ('registration'). Ids, I get three different ids, i.e. there is no duplication. I will be glad for your help <3

A couple errors in your code, Whenever you use a classname followed by (), you are creating a new instance of that class. So the line:

sm.switch_to(AuthorizationScreen())

creates a new instance of AuthorizationScreen, in addition to the one already created by the line:

sm.add_widget(AuthorizationScreen(name='authorization'))

A better approach is to use sm.current = rather than sm.switch_to, like this:

def build(self):
    sm.add_widget(LoadingScreen(name='loading'))
    sm.add_widget(AuthorizationScreen(name='authorization'))
    sm.add_widget(RegistrationScreen(name='registration'))
    sm.current = 'authorization'
    return sm

This switched the current screen to the already existing AuthorizationScreen instance. Or, even simpler, just place the AuthorizationScreen as the first added Screen and it will become the current Screen:

def build(self):
    sm.add_widget(AuthorizationScreen(name='authorization'))
    sm.add_widget(LoadingScreen(name='loading'))
    sm.add_widget(RegistrationScreen(name='registration'))
    return sm

The same error appears in your fff() method in the line:

sm.switch_to(LoadingScreen())

which is creating a new instance of LoadingScreen rather than using the already existing one. That line should probably be:

sm.current = 'loading'
