[WD] Obtain the build version of an Android .apk

Hi,
Is there a way to retrieve the version of an Android app from a Windev application and without Android Studio installed on the machine?
I tried with ExeInfo(exeVersion,"MyApplication.apk") but it doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. According to the help only the first parameter should be indicated, not the name of the application.

Rename the APK to ZIP, and see what you get.

Within a xml file there is the version

Hi,
tried to rename the APK to ZIP, and extracted the AndroidManifest.xml.
Upon opening the xml (with various programs, such as notepad, notepad++, Internet Explorer, ...), the content is just gibberish, and the value i'm searching for is not there.
Am I doing something wrong?

// er is nu een Androidmanifest.xml aanwezig
IF fFileExist(XMLBestand) THEN
XMLBestandInhoud = fLoadText(XMLBestand,foAnsi)
IF XMLBestandInhoud <> "" THEN
//package: name='nl.jbgrip.android' versionCode='171' versionName='0.0.171.0'
sEersteregel = ExtractString(XMLBestandInhoud,1,CR)

sEersteregel = ExtractString(sEersteregel,2,"versionName=")
sEersteregel = ExtractString(sEersteregel,1," ")
sEersteregel = Replace(sEersteregel,"'","")
IF sEersteregel <> "" THEN
EDT_NieuweEXEVersiePlane91 = sEersteregel
ELSE
EDT_NieuweEXEVersiePlane91 = ""
END
ELSE
Info("Het bestand " + XMLBestand + " is leeg. Er kan dus geen versie bepaald worden.")
END
ELSE
Info("Het bestand " + XMLBestand + " is niet aangemaakt. Er kan dus geen versie bepaald worden.")
END
ELSE
Info("Batch bestand is niet aangemaakt. Er kan dus geen versie bepaald worden.")
END

Google for "aapt dump badging"

Hi Jan,
tried to read in a proper way the AndroidManifest.xml included in the .apk, but with no avail (the AndroidManifest.xml included seems to be cripted).

Googled for "aapt dump badging", and it seems that aapt is an useful tool to obtain what i'm trying to achieve.. If I have Android Studio installed on the machine.

I'm kinda lost on how to proceed...
