[android] How to change Android version and code version number?

How to change Android version and code version number Android Studio? I want to change apk file (app) on Google Play and I need to change Android version and code version number. I tried with this in AndroidManifest.xml file in Android Studio:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.bestsoftcorporation.circle.app"
android:versionCode="101"
android:versionName="2.0">

But it does not work. When I tried to publish it on Google Play it display that I must to change Android version name and code.

You can define your versionName and versionCode in your module's build.gradle file like this :

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    .... //Other Configuration
}

Android version and code version number change on Android Studio >= 3.6:

Two ways to achieve this:

1. Direct on the Android project by Open Flutter project and modify the file

   local.properties

change the following values. Example:

flutter.buildMode=release
flutter.versionName=3.0.0
flutter.sdk=C\:\\src\\flutter
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\vgonza\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk
flutter.versionCode=30

2. Open pubspec.yaml

Change the

version: 2.0.0+8

Meaning: The version name is 2.0.0 The version code is 8

How to set build and version number of Flutter app

The easiest way to set the version in Android Studio:

1. Press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+S (or File -> Project Structure -> app)

Android Studio < 3.4:

2. Choose tab 'Flavors'
3. The last two fields are 'Version Code' and 'Version Name'

Android Studio >= 3.4:

2. Choose 'Modules' in the left panel.
3. Choose 'app' in middle panel.
4. Choose 'Default Config' tab in the right panel.
5. Scroll down to see and edit 'Version Code' and 'Version Name' fields.

After updating the manifest file, instead of building your project, go to command line and reach the path ...bld\Debug\platforms\android. Run the command "ant release". Your new release.apk file will have a new version code.

I didn't get the other answers to work in Android Studio 1.4. But this worked: click on your app name to the left below the main ribbon. It will show a list of files. Open AndroidManifest.xml and change the version code and version number there.

Open your build.gradle file and make sure you have versionCode and versionName inside defaultConfig element. If not, add them. Refer to this link for more details.

Go in the build.gradle and set the version code and name inside the defaultConfig element

defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 9 targetSdkVersion 19 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" }

You can manage your application versioning wisely by using the Advanced Build Version Plugin for Gradle.

You just need to include the plugin in yout build.gradle:

buildscript {
  repositories {
      jcenter()
  }

  dependencies {
      classpath 'org.moallemi.gradle.advanced-build-version:gradle-plugin:1.5.0'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.moallemi.advanced-build-version'

And then you can use the versioning functions (and, obviously, customize them):

advancedVersioning {
    nameOptions { }
    codeOptions { }
    outputOptions { }
}

def appVersionName = advancedVersioning.versionName
def appVersionCode = advancedVersioning.versionCode

For more information, take a look at the official documentation.

You can easily auto increase versionName and versionCode programmatically.

For Android add this to your gradle script and also create a file version.properties with VERSION_CODE=555

android {
        compileSdkVersion 30
        buildToolsVersion "30.0.3"
    
        def versionPropsFile = file('version.properties')
        if (versionPropsFile.canRead()) {
            def Properties versionProps = new Properties()
    
            versionProps.load(new FileInputStream(versionPropsFile))
    
            def code = versionProps['VERSION_CODE'].toInteger() + 1
    
            versionProps['VERSION_CODE'] = code.toString()
            versionProps.store(versionPropsFile.newWriter(), null)
    
    
            defaultConfig {
                applicationId "app.umanusorn.playground"
                minSdkVersion 29
                targetSdkVersion 30
                versionCode code
                versionName code.toString()

Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S in android studio or go to File > Project Structure... Select app on left side and select falvors tab on right side on default config change version code , name and etc...
