Hi! how about adding Output Folder for the build configuration?

Like what we have on the Visual Studio

This is useful for developer who uses multiple build configuration with different package name and Conditional Symbols

These output folder will just contain the APK file.

you can just easily implement it like this; after the project gets compiled, the compiled apk (from the objects folder) will be copied to the output folder provided in the selected build configuration.

makes sense, nothing as annoying as overwriting the same file on different builds and it will avoid accidental uploads of wrong versions.

Note that you can write a small batch file that will make multiple builds with different configurations and output files with the command line tool.

I don't know.

See the tutorial about B4ABuilder. It is quite simple to use: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ilder-command-line-compilation.50154/#content

I did get B4ABuilder to work but is in a pain to keep multiple build configuration with different package names and Conditional Symbols apart. Too much copy / pasting and the margin for error is just too high.

Please consider adding this Erel. I stepped over from Delphi where this has always been available and it really helps to keep the bits and bytes where they belong.

My wish is a extension of sdixon's wish: could we have one debug folder and one release folder - normaly 30% of my own apps are not useable, when i am away. In this situtation it would be nice that we could automaticly use the last release build.
