Is there a way to pass ant variables to java code (android)?

Question

I like to include some build variables in my application. For example a buildnumber. Can I pass some variables from a ant build script to my Android application and use that var

Answer 1

Use an ant task (such as replaceregexp) to insert the build numbers and other variables into a class for that purpose.

Or something similar. Basically you want to compile the information into a class as part of the build process.
