This is my 3rd question and thanks for previous helps.
In my app the cart should have 2 icons. If the cart is empty the icon should be “Empty cart pic” and if it has something in it the icon should be “Cart with products”.
The problem is, the code i made is working well when i restart the app, but it’s not working when i go beck from ‘ADDING THINGS TO CART’ to ‘DASHBOARD’(This is where the cart button exist).
And i’m little confused between the functions (of screens) Starts & Open.

Your code to change the icon should be in the `Screen Opens` block.

You need to show your code or create a simple project that demonstrate the issue and share this project someone can have a look and correct it.

This does not provide any clarity.
Use labels inside your code blocks to show what is going on with it.
When testing avoid having **two** functions running immediately after each other.
If you are deleting a record from your `cart` table just before switching to the other screen, this could prevent your function from evaluating properly.
