Hello,  
I want to know that if I type number on screen 1 and on button click that number is stored to Air table and I want that when screen 2 initialize than that number which I typed on screen 1 should be shown in screen 1.  
How to do that?

You should be able to store this in a variable. You hsouldnt need to use airtable to do this.

see my example here

using the side navigator, go to screen scr\_MoveTextToAnotherScreen

I see two easy ways  
use localStorage  
use an app variable
