Hi!
Iīm new to creating appīs with app inventor (no previous experience at all on creating apps or coding) but think its fun so im going to continue.
And sorry if it already exists a post like this one but couldnt find one.

The problem is that im trying to do a list app - when i click a button the number 1 appear on the list = (1) and when i press the button again another (1) appears after the second and so forth.

The thing im trying to make it do is instead of (1) adding one after another is to ex= if you click three times the number 3 adds etcetc.

So - instead of getting (1 1 1 1 1) for clicking five times on a button im trying to get the number to (5) for clicking the same button five times

Any tips?

Yes, Daniel, I think I understand what you are trying to do. But I don't think you need a list to do this. You just need a button component, which you mentioned and a label component. Let's say the label is called total. In the screen designer, give it a value of 0. Then in the blocks editor, drag out the buttonname.click block and put the blocks [set total.text to][ [ total.text] + [1] ] inside the click block. That would take 4 blocks.
Each time the button is pressed the label's value is increased by 1.
