I think only the FQN is ever returned, store the me in a string and use .LastIndexOf(".")+1 to get the module name:

B4X:

...
   Log(ModuleName(me))
...

Public Sub ModuleName(Obj as Object) As String
   Dim psActName As String = Obj
   Return  psActName.SubString(psActName.LastIndexOf(".") + 1)
End Sub

Disclaimer - not tested, just typed in

I think that it will be easier and safer to add a global const variable to each module with the name.

Why can be safer?
What the problem that the use of the code above can causes?
Thanks!

If in a future update the way the module reference is created changes, then the code will break.
Using a constant, the module name can even be something more meaningful and not necessarily the actual module name.
