Get Module Name Programmatically

I add a new Google Cloud Module to my Android Studio project to create a backend servlet that I build as a WAR and deploy to Jetty (or to Google Cloud). The WAR file name is <module-name>.war (eg. backend.war). When deploying the WAR file to Jetty the servlet's URL is https://<server-fqdn>/<module-name>. The Android client code has to HTTP POST to that URL. How do I get the servlet module name programmatically in the Android client code so it can hit the servlet? Even if I later change the servlet module name, I don't want to have to revise the Android client Java code to keep it synced with the backend servlet name.

Module names are only available at compile time. You cannot get them programmatically at run time. Instead, you should will need a way to specify the URL in your code. One way to do this is to have a class with a public static final String that is accessible by all code that needs to know the URL.
