How can I read the app version in manifest file programmically

Question

Hi,

In android manifest file, there is a field specifies application version. Can you please tell me if I can read that value programmically in my android code?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Call GetApplicationContext().PackageManager().getPackageInfo(). The PackageInfo object it returns will have what you need.

Answer 2

You can access to those information through the PackageInfo class.

PackageInfo pinfo = this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0);
Log.d("pinfoCode",pinfo.versionCode);
Log.d("pinfoName",pinfo.versionName);
