How can I use information from a ant script into java? (Android) [closed]?

Up vote 0 down vote favorite 1 share g+ share fb share tw.

I have a automatic build system that build my applications by running ant build scripts. I want to use a variable that I have in ant (for example a build number) in java. I want to display the build number for example to the user.

Does anybody knows how to do this or have a example (ant and java)? Java android ant build link|improve this question asked Oct 22 '11 at 13:21Peerke699614 88% accept rate.

I typically use the ant variable to generate a new java constants class or a generate a properties file and access that from my java application. Either work depending on how complex the build is going to get.

Ahmed gave the right answer. This question has been asked before, for more info: Is there a way to pass ant variables to java code (android)?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
