Android Question how to store Auto version in the package as VersionCode?

[Asim A Baki]

I've followed the tutorial from Erel regarding the auto version number in compile time
but how to store Auto version in the package as VersionCode? because I have dotnet application which reads the manifest from the APK and check the version number before sending it for device for smart update

You can write a B4J non-ui program that reads the generated AndroidManifest.xml and writes it back with the updated version.

You can read it with Xml2Map, make the change and then write it back with Map2Xml: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ple-way-to-parse-xml-documents.74848/#content

could this application be executed automatically after building B4A project?

No. It should be executed with a #CustomBuildAction. You cannot modify the manifest file after compilation.
