how to set the apk release file name using android studio?

Question

I'm trying to use 'generate signed APK' to create release apk on android studio.
Android studio create apk with name 'app-release.apk'

I want to set my name to this apk and i don't find any way to do it.

Answer 1

In `build.gradle' file:

defaultConfig {
        ...
        versionCode 4
        versionName "App name 1.x"
        project.ext.set("archivesBaseName", defaultConfig.versionName + "-" + defaultConfig.versionCode);
    }

Answer 2

One way to that

setProperty("archivesBaseName", "apk_name")

and another way is

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.each { output ->
        project.ext { appName = 'MyAppName' }
        def formattedDate = new Date().format('yyyyMMddHHmmss')
        def newName = output.outputFile.name
        newName = newName.replace("app-", "$project.ext.appName-")
        newName = newName.replace("-release", "-release" + formattedDate)
        output.outputFile = new File(output.outputFile.parent, newName)
    }
}
