Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
See BBcode help for more info.

to access the input text you can use the textinput id newList => newList.text

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.properties import StringProperty
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
 
kv = '''
 
 
BoxLayout:
    orientation: 'vertical'
    text: newList
    TextInput:
        id: newList
    Button:
        text: 'click'
        on_press: app.clicked(newList.text)
 
'''
 
 
 
 
class MyApp(App):
    text = StringProperty('-.text')
 
    def build(self):
        return Builder.load_string(kv)
 
    def clicked(self,text_):
        print(text_)
        
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()
