Did you follow this guide ?

If not, perhaps you should, then once you have the basics working, you can then start to add features.

You really do not need to use two screens to do this.
There is no need to encode to base64, just store the plain text

How to use Virtual Screens

Hey, everyone! Hope you all are having a great day so far! Today I would like to introduce you to the topic of using virtual screens as not many people know how to use virtual screens. To start off, I would like to tell you all that using virtual screens is much better than using regular screens, especially if you think you will be using more than ten screens as MIT App Inventor can not accommodate more than ten screens.

@Md_Mamun

If the button clicked one time before then open other window

Please share your work, what you have done and also specify your requirement with more clarity.
