How to access versionCode from task in Gradle Experimental Plugin

Question

I would like to access versionCode and versionName in defaultConfig from a gradle task. I am using the experimental gradle plugin. I tried model.android.defaultConfig.versio

Answer 1

Create method in your build.gradle:

def getVersionCode = { ->
    // calculate versionCode code or use hardcoded value
    return 1
}

Use this method in defaultConfig:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        versionCode getVersionCode()
    }
}

Use the same method in your custom task:

task printVersions{
    print "Version code is " + getVersionCode()
}

Alternative solution is to access versionCode property directly:

task printVersions{
    print "Version code is $project.android.defaultConfig.versionCode"
}
