If your Package-Name is "com.myapp"
In MainActivity insert...

Sub Process_Globals

   Dim PName as String : PName = "com.myapp"

End Sub

To use your Variable from Main Activity...

Sub Fill_Label

   myLabel.Text = PName

End Sub

To use your Variable from any other Activity...

Sub Fill_Label

   myLabel.Text = Main.PName

End Sub

Maybe a function like could help:

Sub GetPackageName As String
  Dim r As Reflector
  Return r.GetStaticField("anywheresoftware.b4a.BA", "packageName")
End Sub

It uses the Reflection library.

@holdemadvantage
How has it worked out? I assume you encrypted the string you were comparing against the package name returned.

Admob code is a code you have to use to display banner ads and interstitials ads in your apps, see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/admob-tutorial-add-ads-to-your-application.7300/
