Did you try to convert it to String and then applying?

Java

num1TextE.text = result.toString()

Basically what Kotlin is doing is just providing a high-level abstraction over Java, so in Java what you do is you normally set the text field of an EditText control with a String value... Just an integer needs to be converted to String and then used in the setText function—which Kotlin converts to a text setter.

Oh, and Editable type is just a fancy underlying type for String, a String would work just fine.
