Android versionCode programmatically

Question

Is there any way to know dynamically and programmatically the versionCode of an Android application??

I don´t know... maybe something like

 getApplicationContext.getVersionCode();

Thank you very much.

If you're using gradle (default in AndroidStudio) you can:

BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE

You find the following from using this code

 public int getVersionCode() {
    int v = 0;
    try {
        v = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0).versionCode;
    } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {

    }
    return v;
}

Class Required

import android.content.pm.PackageInfo;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException;

This is more dynamic, this should be the accepted answer. – ucMedia Mar 24 '22 at 07:53

This should be surrounded by a try...catch.

PackageInfo pInfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0);
version = pInfo.versionName;
versionCode = pInfo.versionCode;
