context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo (context.getPackageName(), 0).versionCode;

for version code:

int versionCode = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0).versionCode;

for version name:

String versionName = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0).versionName;
