Android Question Best way to display app current version/release

[FERNANDO SILVEIRA]

Hello, all

I'm looking for suggestions on how to display on a label field my current app version/release (ex. v1r7) level on the screen. Currently I have to manually change the label field every change on the version/release level I make. Not to mention that sometimes I forget to change it and have to compile again just to fix version/release number...

:-/

How do you guys deal with this?

Regards,
Fernando Silveira

Hello,
By using :

Application
.VersionName
.VersionCode

Thank you... Could you provide me the code I should use to accomplish this?

 

[asales]

Label1.Text = "Version: " & Application.VersionName 
Label2.Text = "Version Code: " & Application.VersionCode

Thank you all for the responses...

So these values come from

#Region  Project Attributes 
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A GenealogyLite
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName: x

Which means I still have to change it manually.
I thought there was a way to automatically generate these values numbers every time I compile the app...

You can using a custom build action. For example :
