gradle-versioncode-plugin

Gradle plugin to manage an application version code inside its continuous integration lifecycle.

This plugin was developed for the REST service: version-code-service.

Usage

Setup buildscript Dependencies

The plugin is available in JitPack. Just add the following to your buildscript dependencies:

buildscript {

    repositories {
    	....
        maven {
            url "https://jitpack.io"
        }
    }
    
    dependencies {
    	...
        classpath 'com.github.Mindera:gradle-versioncode-plugin:1.4'
    }
}

Apply it:

apply plugin: 'com.mindera.gradle.versioncode'

If you are using android flavors, this will generate a task for each combination of flavor and build type that are not debuggable.

For instance, if you have:

productFlavors {
        pro {
            applicationId = "com.example.my.pkg.pro"
        }
        free {
            applicationId = "com.example.my.pkg.free"
        }
    }

This plugin will generate the tasks:

incrementVersionCodeProRelease
incrementVersionCodeFreeRelease

Note: When using flavors, if you set the appVersionCode.appId it will be used for every flavor, if not it will use the value in applicationId.

Tasks Configuration

appVersionCode {
    appId = <app identifier> (do not use if you are using flavors)
    serviceEndpoint = <version code service endpoint>
}

Increment App's Version Code

Use the task 'incrementVersionCode'. For instance, in the command line type:

$ ./gradlew incrementVersionCode

If you're using android flavors, you could run:

$ ./gradlew incrementVersionCodeProRelease

Retrieve App's Current Version Code

import com.mindera.gradle.versioncode.utils.VersionCodeService
apply plugin: 'com.mindera.gradle.versioncode'
(...)
VersionCodeService versionCodeService = new VersionCodeService(<version code service endpoint>, <app identifier>)
return versionCodeService.currentVersionCode()
