Answer 1

You can use this for app name with current date and version

android {
def version = "2.4";
def milestone = "1";
def build = "0";
def name = getDate()+"APP NAME WHAT YOU WANT"+"v"+version


signingConfigs {
    config {
       ….
   }
}
compileSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(COMPILE_SDK)
buildToolsVersion BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION
defaultConfig {
   applicationId "com.PACKAGENAME"
   minSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(MIN_SDK_LIBRARY)
   targetSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(TARGET_SDK)
   versionCode 11
   versionName "2.3"
   multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
   debug {
       applicationVariants.all { variant ->
           variant.outputs.each { output ->
               def apk = output.outputFile;
               def newName;
               newName = apk.name.replace("-" + variant.buildType.name, "")
                       .replace(project.name, name);
               newName = newName.replace("-", "-" + version + "-" + milestone +
                       "-" + build + "-");
               output.outputFile = new File(apk.parentFile, newName);
           }
       }
   }

Answer 2

For Android Studio 3.1 this works for me:

android {
     ...............
     ...............

     applicationVariants.all { variant ->
            changeAPKName(variant, defaultConfig)
        }

  compileOptions {
       sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
       targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
       }

      .................................
      .................................
     }

and

def changeAPKName(variant, defaultConfig) {
    variant.outputs.all { output ->
        outputFileName = new File("xxxxx" + variant.versionName +".apk")
    }
}

Answer 3

For Android Studio 3, this works for me:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        variant.outputs.all { output ->
            outputFileName = new File("AppName-" + variant.versionName + ".apk");
        }
}

Answer 4

Try this code:

defaultConfig{
      applicationVariants.all { variant ->
                changeAPKName(variant, defaultConfig)
            }
}

def changeAPKName(variant, defaultConfig) {
    variant.outputs.each { output ->
        if (output.zipAlign) {
            def file = output.outputFile
            output.packageApplication.outputFile = new File(file.parent, "Your APK NAME")
        }
        def file = output.packageApplication.outputFile
        output.packageApplication.outputFile = new File(file.parent, "Your APK NAME")
    }
}

Answer 5

Just add

   archivesBaseName = "NAME_YOU_WANT"

in the android{} part of your gradle file.

You'll get "NAME_YOU_WANT-release.apk" as name of the generated file.

Answer 6

You just have to add following one line of code in app level gradle.

1. For name only

archivesBaseName = "NAME_YOU_WANT"

 defaultConfig {

       applicationId "com.PACKAGENAME"

       minSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(MIN_SDK_LIBRARY)

       targetSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(TARGET_SDK)

       versionCode 11

       versionName "2.3"

       multiDexEnabled true

       archivesBaseName = "NAME_YOU_WANT"


    }

2. Name with version

archivesBaseName = "NAME_YOU_WANT" + versionName

defaultConfig {

   applicationId "com.PACKAGENAME"

   minSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(MIN_SDK_LIBRARY)

   targetSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(TARGET_SDK)

   versionCode 11

   versionName "2.3"

   multiDexEnabled true

   archivesBaseName = "NAME_YOU_WANT" + versionName
}
