I was looking for this one and ended up here , Its been 3 years 🚶‍♂️

Let me update this for future references ,

If you're using the Gradle plugin/Android Studio, as of version 0.7.0 ( Right now it is 2.1.0 ), version code and version name are available statically in BuildConfig:

int versionCode = BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE;
String versionName = BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;

No Context object needed!

Just make sure to specify them in your build.gradle file instead of the AndroidManifest.xml.


defaultConfig {
    ...
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is it applicable here the Payroll system?
