Need Help with List

What I am trying to do is to have two screens (screen1 and screen2). I am try to have an add item button on screen1 which leads me to screen2 and there is a textbox there to enter something. When I press the enter button on screen2, it will take me back to screen one and auto update the item to a list.

This is what i got so far but everytime screen1 initializes, it will add the last thing that i typed on screen2 onto the list. I just want it to add after i enter something from screen2 and not have it automatically add everytime screen refreshes. Can you guys help me? thanks

What if you add it in before leaving Screen2 instead of adding it in Screen1.Initialize

Hi. Sorry i dont really understand. Im new to appinventor. How would i go abouts doing that?

instead of using 2 screens, what about using only one screen and vertical screen arrangements to simulate different screens?

just set them to visible = true/false as needed

doing this, you don't have to pass values between screens, which might be easier...

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling.

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of AppInventor, then try something and follow the

 Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor

You will not find a tutorial, which does exactly what you are looking for. But doing the tutorials (not only reading a little bit) help you to understand, how things are working. This is important and this is the first step to do.

I'm sorry, but if you don't understand that, you really need to do some basic tutorials first before you try more advanced things. Follow the links Taifun posted and keep practicing.
