How to get the build/version number of your Android application?

Anonymous User 1722 10-Aug-2015
I need to figure out how to get or make a build number for my Android application. I need the build number to display in the UI.

Do I have to do something with AndroidManifest.xml?

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

OR
String versionName = context.getPackageManager()
    .getPackageInfo(context.getPackageName(), 0).versionName;

If you're using the Gradle plugin/Android Studio, as of version 0.7.0, version code and version name are available statically in BuildConfig:
int versionCode = BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE;
String versionName = BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;
