Installation

Add the advanced-build-version plugin to your build script and use the property advancedVersioning.versionName and advancedVersioning.versionCode where you need:

buildscript {
  repositories {
      jcenter()
  }

  dependencies {
      classpath 'org.moallemi.gradle.advanced-build-version:gradle-plugin:1.5.2'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.moallemi.advanced-build-version'

How to use

advancedVersioning {
    nameOptions { }
    codeOptions { }
    outputOptions { }
}

def appVersionName = advancedVersioning.versionName
def appVersionCode = advancedVersioning.versionCode

Version Name Configuration

You can customize version name in your build.gradle file as follow:

advancedVersioning {
    nameOptions {
        versionMajor 1
        versionMinor 3
        versionPatch 6
        versionBuild 8
    }
}

the above configuration will output 1.3.6.8

there is no need to specify all params because they will be handled automatically. for example

advancedVersioning {
    nameOptions {
        versionMajor 1
        versionBuild 8
    }
}

will output 1.0.0.8 and

advancedVersioning {
    nameOptions {
        versionMajor 1
        versionMinor 3
    }
}

will output 1.3

Version Code Configuration

To customize version code in your build.gradle file write:

advancedVersioning {
    codeOptions {
        versionCodeType org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.DATE
    }
}

versionCodeType can be one of following params:

org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.DATE formatted number e.g.: 1501101614
org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.JALALI_DATE will output 931017
org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_DATE will output 101101614
org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP will output e.g: 24. this property stores AI_VERSION_CODE in version.properties file in build.gradle directory, you may also change dependsOnTasks property to specify that on witch tasks should increase version code (default is every task that contains 'release' in its name)

advancedVersioning {
  codeOptions {
      versionCodeType org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP
      dependsOnTasks 'release' // defaultValue
  }
}

Setting multiple tasks for dependsOnTasks property:

advancedVersioning {
  codeOptions {
      versionCodeType org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP
      dependsOnTasks 'debug', 'release', 'assemble'
  }
}

File output options

You can also rename the output generated apk file with this plugin. it can be done just by enabling the renameOutput option:

advancedVersioning {
  outputOptions {
      renameOutput true
  }
}

If your app name is MyApp with 2.7 version name and you are in debug mode, the output apk file name will be: MyApp-2.7-debug.apk

You can customize the output name by using this params:

${appName}: name of main module
${projectName}: name of root project
${flavorName}: flavor name
${buildType}: build type
${versionName}: version name
${versionCode}: version code

advancedVersioning {
  outputOptions {
      renameOutput true
      nameFormat '${appName}-${buildType}-${versionName}'
  }
}

And you can also use custom string in nameFormat like:

advancedVersioning {
  outputOptions {
      renameOutput true
      nameFormat '${appName}-google-play-${versionName}'
  }
}

If your app name is MyApp with 4.6.1 version name the output apk file name will be: MyApp-google-play-4.6.1.apk
