welcome to the community!

you are only opening screens and never closing them

you might want to follow tip 1 here and use virtual screens, which makes things easier...

General Tips and Tricks for App Inventor

This list was made by @Taifun 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... If you decided to use different screens, then you should switch them correctly, else you …

if you still want to use different screens, store the list in TinyDB and read it again from there in the other screen ... and next time you start your app, the list still should be there... another reason to use TinyDB to store the list...

currently if you are starting the app, the global Lista will be initialized with an empty string, which does not make sense and most probably results in the error you are experiencing...

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 App Inventor, then try something and follow the Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor

Looks like the list has been initialized to a blank string (which is why there's a blank argument); this is probably the issue:

[gordonlu310]

How can you add / remove an item to a string?

[nishyanthkumar]

You can't.
Neither can you use a List function on a String, which is the cause of the error here.

Es una solución un tanto arcaica pero las especificaciones de la tarea eran especificas asi que no pude aplicar lo que me dijeron jsjsjsjsj
