I have a jenkins server that uses ANT to build my android project , what I need to do is to add the jenkins build number into my apk. So that I can do : getprop my.version on ADB . One idea I had was to write the jenkins build to a file and bundle that on the apk so that I can read this file and set the property on Accepting the INTENT . What I need to know is how to put a file in apk resources with ant? Can anyone help?

What's wrong with including the build number into the app version (with properly updating the AndroidManifest.xml) and then getting it from the package manager on the device when needed?

  • I think Jenkins will have to check out the source code in order to write to it, and It has to be read from getprop. – user1470618 May 27 '13 at 19:53
  • AFAIK, jenkins generates the build number whenever we fire a new build from it. So is there a way that we can put that generated build number back in to app so that it can be viewed in screens like About ? – user755499 Nov 28 '16 at 13:37
