How can I get the build number of my Android app? [duplicate]

Question

How can I get the build number of my Android app and setText to a textview?

For example, "Build # 91".

Which build system are you using? What do you mean by build number? (version code?) — TheHippo

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

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.

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).

No..We have build for each app right? When we make any changes in that each time it create a different build.
