Android Question Version Msgbox

[bryantm1122]

Hello,

I've made a Menu item called About, which when clicked, pops up a MsgBox with my build number and copyright info. Right now, I'm updating the MsgBox string in Sub About_Click on each build. Is there a way to pull the version number from the #VersionName in Project Attributes into the MsgBox?

log(Application.VersionName)
log(Application.VersionCode)

Thanks DonManfred!

I tried this:

MsgBox(Application.VersionName & " Beta" & CRLF & CRLF & "copyright info", "App Name")

and my app crashes when I click OK on the MsgBox. Everything displays properly. Any ideas?

Update: Also tried assigning Application.VersionName to a string variable. Still crashing.

Update 2: Problem with emulator. Working on real device.

Saying your app crashes does NOT HELP if you DONT post the full errormessage from the logs

Create a small example which shows the problem and export as zip and upload it here...

Understood. I ran again on emulator to get logs, but app didn't crash this time. Must have been a gremlin. If it happens again, I'll post logs. Thanks!

Dont use the slow, buggy and unreliabe emulator. Use a real device instead
