You need to get the text value from editText val username = binding.editTextUsername.text.toString()

The Layout Inspector in Android Studio allows you to debug the layout of your app by showing a view hierarchy and allowing you to inspect the properties of each view. With the Layout Inspector, you can compare your app layout with design mockups, display a magnified or 3D view of your app, and examine details of its layout at runtime. This is especially useful when your layout is built at runtime rather than entirely in XML and the layout is behaving unexpectedly.
