Inserting Text into TextInput with Kivy: Clear and Calculate Made Easy

When developing a Kivy application, you may find yourself wanting to insert text into TextInput fields dynamically. For instance, in a Board Foot Calculator app, this functionality can enhance the user experience significantly. If you're coming from Tkinter, you might be familiar with the convenience of using E1.insert() to manage text input. In this guide, we will guide you through how to achieve similar operations in Kivy, particularly focusing on inserting and clearing text in TextInput fields.

The Problem at Hand

Imagine you are working on a Board Foot Calculator app. You have a user interface set up where users can input dimensions and get calculated results. However, you want to do the following:

Insert the calculated result into a specific TextInput field.
