python code won't run with .kv file

I have my python code:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.scatter import Scatter
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout



class Premade(BoxLayout):pass

class MyFirstApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Premade()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyFirstApp().run()

and my .kv file:

#:kivy 1.10.0
<Premade>:
    orientation: 'Verticle'
    TextInput:
        id: my_textinput
        font_size: 150
        size_hint_y: None
        height: 200
        text: 'default'
    FloatLayout:
        Scatter:
            Label:
                text: my_textinput.text
                font_size: 150

Supposedly, when I run the python code, the .kv file would be loaded, but all I get is a black screen. I named my .kv file according to the rule, in this case, is myfirst.kv and the .kv file is also in the same directory as the python module file. I also tried to use the build function but that didn't work either. Can anyone help?

Has to be called myfirstapp.kv or the same name as the app class

Check your .kv filename, if you want it to be loaded automatically you should name it MyFirst.kv because your app is called MyFirstApp. An alternative solution would be to load the file manually as the following:

from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_file('filename.kv')
