1Which build system are you using? What do you mean by build number? (version code?) – TheHippo Feb 10 '14 at 11:03

No i don't need the version number, i need the number of build of the app. The textview should change according to the build of the app. – athulya k Feb 10 '14 at 11:10

Simple and short way: implement into your activity
String versionName = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager()
.getPackageInfo(getApplicationContext().getPackageName(), 0).versionName;
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(versionName);

But it is used to get the version number right? I need the Build number. – athulya k Feb 10 '14 at 11:12

So, you really mean versionCode! Just replace versionName with versionCode in the proposed answer. TheHippo already pointed this out, correctly (first comment to your question). – Phantômaxx Feb 10 '14 at 11:13

1No..We have build for each app right? When we make any changes in that each time it create a different build. – athulya k Feb 10 '14 at 11:26
