Running java utility via command in azure pipelines does not pass parameters - azure-devops

Question

I have created an utility (java jar-file) to generate a file upon the building process. And placed it into /tools folder in my source code root folder.
In azure-pipelines I am using this approach to run this jar-file upon building the project (Xamarin project).
- task: CmdLine#2
inputs:
script: "java -jar $(build.SourcesDirectory)/tools/version2image.jar $(fullVersionText) $(androidVersionFileLocation)"
The task launched ok, but in the logs I get the following:
2020-08-17T14:48:45.4688112Z java -jar D:\a\1\s/tools/version2image.jar 1.0.0.123 'D:\a\1\s/XamarinProject/XamarinProject.Android/Resources/drawable/version.png'

In other words Azure does not pass parameters properly to the jar file. My application thinks that it launched without parameters.
But when I run this utility locally on my computer it works ok.
If it helps, in the java utility I get command line parameters like that:
final int correctParamsCount = 2;
if (args.length != correctParamsCount) {
System.out.println("Usage:\n\njava -jar version2image.jar <version_string> <output_file_location>\n");
System.out.println("Example:\n\njava -jar version2image.jar 1.0.0.121 c:/myproject/images/version.png\n");
System.exit(0);
}
final String versionNumber = args[0];
final String outputFilePath = args[1];
How can I fix this issue?

To resolve this issue (thanks to #riQQ) I should update AndroidVersionFileLocation variable, and remove single quote symbols from the path.
And add double quotes to the utility command call:
It should look like this:
script: 'java -jar $(build.SourcesDirectory)/tools/version2image.jar "$(fullVersionText)" "$(androidVersionFileLocation)"'
instead of this:
script: "java -jar $(build.SourcesDirectory)/tools/version2image.jar $(fullVersionText) $(androidVersionFileLocation)"
