I have following code

```
nextBTN.setOnClickListener {
            if (validateInfo()) {
                (activity).apply {
                    next(1)
                    user.let {
                        it.firstName = userName.text.toString()
                        it.lastName = lastName.text.toString()
                        it.email = email.text.toString()
                        it.password = password.text.toString()
                    }
                }
            }

```

Now for the fist time it works fine like  
` email.text.toString() == n@n.com`  
but when i try this second time and if i change the value on email edit text field to [n11@n.com](mailto:n11@n.com) the email will be same  
` email.text.toString() == n@n.com`  
i know it works when i give the `this@reference` to main class. but wants to learn why is this not working
