How to import version number from Android gradle build into Jenkins variable?

Question

My goal is to print out somewhere on my Jenkins project page what the last version was that got built. To be clear, if I have the following in my manifest:

android:versionName="1.4.43"

I'd like to print out a little blurb somewhere that says:

Last version: 1.4.43

Has anybody done something like this before?

Answer 1

Can you see your Version name in the console output ?

if so you can use description setter plug in to display the version, on the build history. is that what you want to do ?
