use the join block to join your values, then use one of the email solutions to send it

Different eMail solutions for App Inventor

one of the tutorials shows you how to send an SMS...

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

You will not find a tutorial, which does exactly what you are looking for. But doing the tutorials (not only reading a little bit) help you to understand, how things are working. This is important and this is the first step to do.

why are there duplicate blocks?

just do it like this

however on first run of the app, you will send an empty text as message, is this what you want to do?

also are you aware that there is only one TinyDB?

see also http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/storage.html#TinyDB

Each app has its own data store. There is only one data store per app. Even if you have multiple TinyDB components, they will use the same data store. To get the effect of separate stores, use different keys. You cannot use the TinyDB to pass data between two different apps on the phone, although you can use the TinyDB to share data between the different screens of a multi-screen app.

you might want to post a screenshot with your solution to help others with the same problem

 i want to know how do i make some of the txt go on new line

see my answer in your other thread https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mitappinventortest/ZbuMxt8NvnY/va7oV2mwBAAJ..

btw. it always helps to add a screenshot of your relevant blocks to see what you are doing and where the problem might be...

Ususally, \n means "new line" in text.

I don't know if that works in SMS text messages.

Also, look in the text blocks for the JOIN block.

Use it to build up one long text from a bunch of small ones.
