setting a date label each time the app is starter

[eke...@gmail.com]

I want to set a date appearing in the screen each time it is started. Is there a procedure that reads the date from the phone and sets it in a label?

yes, see the clock component

some AI1 examples with the clock see here https://sites.google.com/site/blocks123/theclock

Thank you for the answer...
but as I see in those examples the clock is used to set timers...
What I tried to do is...
   I created a date label in screen 1
 when screen 1 initialize
          set dateLabel to clock1...Now
but does not work

probably you should take a look closer?

I understand what you mean, but
I can´t find a *clock1.formatDate* block...!
Sorry...

first in the designer you draw a clock component into the workspace and then you get all the clock blocks in the blocks editor
