Answer 1

Somehow the other options with BuildConfig didn't work out for me. I ended up with this code:

context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.package.name", 0).versionName

For my library "com.package.name" was only the first part of the dependency from build.gradle:

implementation 'com.package.name:library:1.0.0'

Answer 2

Use
String libVersionName = your.lib.package.name.BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;

or in your library, just use BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME to get it.

NB:
BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME in app module is your.app.package.name.BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME
