Use of string resource in manifest version name.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set versionName in manifest to a string resource.
2. Open application (for the first time).
3. The dialog should never open again, but it does and versionName is null.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Dialog display once and only once.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
android-change-log: 2.0.7
OS: Linux Ubuntu 11.04
Android OS: Froyo 2.2
Device: Motorola Droid (Verizon CDMA)
Android build: FRG82D
Please provide any additional information below.
Perhaps there is a way to check how the version name is set, then get either
the string or the string resource.

Just tested and it works as expected. Opens first time, does not open next time.
AndroidManifest.xml:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="sheetrock.panda.changelog"
android:versionCode="4"
android:versionName="@string/the_version">
strings.xml
<string name="the_version">2.0.8</string>

1. if you rooted your phone, you could try to find the prefs.xml-file and check
if the version is written inside
2. use a debugger to check which values are in the fields of ChangeLog after
instantiation.

- Changed state: Accepted
As a temporary workaround, you can use directly the value of your string
resource to get versionName instead of calling getPackageInfo() method (see
ChangeLog.java).
Replace line 69 :
this.thisVersion =
context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(context.getPackageName(),
0).versionName;
by
this.thisVersion = context.getString(R.string.name_of_your_version_string);

What happened with this ticket? I can use the workaround, but what about Google
Play and other stores that read the version name from the package?

Never used my project in play store. Does it work with string resources?
