Android Question Use package name from res file

[Bel]

Hi
Can i place package name in values.xml or other file and use it in my project when i'm compiling it?
I have many client that i should be set different package name for each client
I use resource for make app for each client
If i can use packagename from xml so it is very good

you can use conditional compiling to use different res-folders.
You can also use a different buildconfiguration for each customer

 

[Bel]

I use #AditionalRes for include client res folder
Each client have a res folder that when i would like to compile it,copy to folder that define in AditionalRes
But i wouldn't like use buildconfiguration
If maybe instead of buildconfiguration,use packanamge from file it is good
Mahbe?

 

[DonManfred]

you can use the buildconfigs in manifest too.
Using Buildconfigurations and then compile with commandline will be the best solution i guess

 

[Bel]

Yes it is good solution but can you help me? (How us it?)

 

[Bel]

i edit .b4a file and see package name
If i edit it and compile it.
This is one way.
Other way i think that i can read only manifest file and change package name from manifest.xml and then compile,isn't is?

No. use buildconfigurations and compile with commandline.
In Manifesteditor you then use the buildconfiguraions to change the packagename.

See tutorials for buildconfiguration and ConditionalCompiling.
Search the forum too... I think it is already asked in past...

I know but i have client > 1000 and cannot use BuildConfiguration for each client
Can i use @string/package_name in manifest and save package name in strings.xml?

 

[DonManfred]

no

 

[Bel]

OK i decide to use BuildConfiguration
But Is it saving Version code for each Configuration?
Example when i select x client so version code set to latest version

 

[DonManfred]

i dont understand the question

 

[Bel]

Ok
Leave it
Other question
Look i create build configuration for each client and make folder for each that contains files
Now when i select build configuration for client number 2 so i need to select it's folder with below code
#AdditionalRes: ../client2

or when select client number 3 so add below code
#AdditionalRes: ../client3

Now my problem is , can i use buildconfiguration name instead of client2 (example : #AdditionalRes: ../buildconfigurationname)?

 

[DonManfred]

#if customer_x
  #AdditionalRes: ../client3
#end if
#if customer_y
  #AdditionalRes: ../client4
#end if

The same you can do with the packagename in manifest editor.

PD: Check the syntax... i wrote it out of my brain (maybe wrong)

 

[Bel]

No No No
My client is above 1000 person
I cannot write IF condition for each client
I need to replace client3 with current build configuration name that when i compile it,autmate replace with build name

 

[Bel]

Example
#AditionalRes:../currentbuildconfiguration()

 

[Bel]

Hoooooo is there solution?

 

[DonManfred]

yes. see post #13!

You need to add them ONE TIME... You can write a tool to export these lines for you into a textfile and then add this...

That was my last answer here. Good luck!
