由于我只需要获取版本代码并检查应用程序是否更新，如果是，我必须启动play商店以获取更新的应用程序。我是这样做的。

public class CheckForUpdate {

    public static final String ACTION_APP_VERSION_CHECK = "app-version-check";

    public static void launchPlayStoreApp(Context context)
    {
        // getPackageName() from Context or Activity object
        final String appPackageName = context.getPackageName();
        try {
            context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                                  Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
        }
        catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
            context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                                  Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" +
                                             appPackageName)));
        }
    }

    public static int getRemoteVersionNumber(Context context)
    {
        int versionCode = 0;
        try {
            PackageInfo pInfo = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(context.getPackageName(), 0);
            String version = pInfo.versionName;
            versionCode = pInfo.versionCode;
        }
        catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return versionCode;
    }
}

然后，我通过创建一个util类，使用共享首选项保存了版本代码。

public class PreferenceUtils {

    // This is for version code
    private  final String APP_VERSION_CODE = "APP_VERSION_CODE";
    private  SharedPreferences sharedPreferencesAppVersionCode;
    private SharedPreferences.Editor editorAppVersionCode;
    private static Context mContext;

    public PreferenceUtils(Context context)
    {
        this.mContext = context;
        // This is for the app versioncode
        sharedPreferencesAppVersionCode = mContext.getSharedPreferences(APP_VERSION_CODE,MODE_PRIVATE);
        editorAppVersionCode = sharedPreferencesAppVersionCode.edit();
    }

    public void createAppVersionCode(int versionCode) {

        editorAppVersionCode.putInt(APP_VERSION_CODE, versionCode);
        editorAppVersionCode.apply();
    }

    public int getAppVersionCode()
    {
        return sharedPreferencesAppVersionCode.getInt(APP_VERSION_CODE,0); // As the default version code is 0
    }
}

Kotlin示例：

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.act_signin)

    packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES).apply {
        findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_version_name).text = versionName
        findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_version_code).text =
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) "$longVersionCode" else "$versionCode"
    }

    packageManager.getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0).apply{
        findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_build_date).text =
            SimpleDateFormat("yy-MM-dd hh:mm").format(java.io.File(sourceDir).lastModified())
    }
}

private String GetAppVersion() {
    try {
        PackageInfo _info = mContext.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(mContext.getPackageName(), 0);
        return _info.versionName;
    }
    catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return "";
    }
}

private int GetVersionCode() {
    try {
        PackageInfo _info = mContext.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(mContext.getPackageName(), 0);
        return _info.versionCode;
    }
    catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return -1;
    }
}

使用BuildConfig类：

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

文件build.gradle（应用程序）

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.myapp"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 27
    versionCode 17
    versionName "1.0"
}

对构建系统有用：有一个用APK文件生成的文件，名为output.json，其中包含每个生成的APK文件的一系列信息，包括versionName和versionCode。

例如

[
    {
        "apkInfo": {
            "baseName": "x86-release",
            "enabled": true,
            "filterName": "x86",
            "fullName": "86Release",
            "outputFile": "x86-release-1.0.apk",
            "splits": [
                {
                    "filterType": "ABI",
                    "value": "x86"
                }
            ],
            "type": "FULL_SPLIT",
            "versionCode": 42,
            "versionName": "1.0"
        },
        "outputType": {
            "type": "APK"
        },
        "path": "app-x86-release-1.0.apk",
        "properties": {}
    }
]

如果您使用Gradle插件/AndroidStudio，从0.7.0版起，版本代码和版本名称在BuildConfig中静态可用。确保导入应用程序的包，而不是另一个BuildConfig：

import com.yourpackage.BuildConfig;
...
int versionCode = BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE;
String versionName = BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;

不需要Context对象！

还要确保在build.gradle文件中指定它们，而不是AndroidManifest.xml。

defaultConfig {
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
