T Turbo3 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 21, 2016 #3 Perhaps you misunderstood. My app running on an Android device needs to be able to read the version number the app was compiled with. What you provided seems to be a path on a Windows machine the app was compiled on. When I look at the raw source file I see at the top a variable on the second line of "Version=6.5" I thought I could just access that from within the running app but it is not accessible at compile time to include in the binary.

T Turbo3 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 21, 2016 #5 I don't want to have to go around to each app and update it just because Erel releases a new compiler version. It should be automatic so next time I compile it gets updated. There is a version variable at the top of the source so why not make it available at compile time? Seems like an easy change. There is already a variable that tells the code if the B4i or B4A compiler is being used that can switch in different code based on the compiler. Upvote 0
