Android Question How ? CustomBuildAction to call a batch file, passing the application name and version name

[AnandGupta]

I want to use CustomBuildAction to call a batch file, passing the application name and version name, something like below

    #CustomBuildAction: 4, app.bat, %ApplicationLabel% %VersionName%

How can I achieve it ?

1. You can create the batch file, app.bat, on the fly with ApplicationLabel and VersionName correctly set, or
2. Treat those two parameters at Batch file commandline parameters.

The available variables are listed here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-comment-links.119897/#content

Check this example for a simple B4J program that reads the project attributes: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/solved-write-attribute-to-textfile.88549/#post-560535

I wanted the vars for 'ApplicationLabel' and 'VersionName' but they are not available. OK

I already parse the .b4a with batch commands, without any 3rd pty app, but thought to directly get those vars.

I am writing the 'ApplicationLabel' directly as batch parameter and parsing for 'VersionName'
But your suggestion to 'create the batch file, app.bat, on the fly' is also very good. I will check it.

I wrote wrong as I use 'FINDSTR' of Win10 and SSR (a small exe to search replace) from internet.
