app inventor selecting random item from a list one time only

Question

Hi I am creating this app for my internship. It's a palm reading app which was requested for whatever reason to be built using the MIT App Inventor 2.

Everything works great except on my last page which I need it to take ONE Random 'fortune' from my fortunesList and display only that 'fortune' .

I think I have it set correctly to do that, but it keeps blinking / keeps reloading??

thanks in advance...

Here are the blocks I am currently working with:

Answer 1

set Label1.text to pick a random item get global list

see also the documentation

pick a random item

Picks an item at random from the list.

EDIT: see screenshot how to do it in your example to pick a random item on each run of the app, then display the picked item in another screen

Screen1 Screen fortunes
