I'm trying to implement an About box. The PackageInfo class is great for this, but I see it needs a package name as an argument to instantiate it:
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager(); String version = getString(R.string.about_unknown); try { PackageInfo pi = pm.getPackageInfo(getString (R.string.about_package), 0); version = getString(R.string.about_version) + " " + Integer.toString(pi.versionCode)+"/"+pi.versionName; } catch (NameNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } I added the package name as an entry in strings.xml to get this working. However, I'd like to know if I can remove this duplication as I see the package name is already present in AndroidManifest.xml. Thanks. -- Android Academy: http://www.androidacademy.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
