Help delayed button action

[Andre_Ferreira]

Hello there

I have a problem that I, a newbie that discovered this whole mit app inventor ordeal yesterday, haven't been able to solve, even thought I spent quite a while searching for a solution.

What I want to do is when I click a button there is a delay, in this case of twenty seconds, until the button does its action, that is to change from screen1 to screen2.

Could anyone help me?

You use the clock timer:

Use different screens wisely

• Before starting to create another screen, first you should think about is it really necessary? 
• See also Building apps with many screens and SteveJG's post about advantages/disadvantages, because in only one screen you also can use vertical arrangements to simulate different screens, just set the arrangements to visible = true/false as needed... 
• See also Martyn_HK's example about how to use Tabs in App Inventor and another example from Cyd. and my Tabbed Screens Demo

If you decided to use different screens, then you should switch them correctly, else you will run out of memory after a while...
