A plugin to generate the Android version code and version name automatically based on git commits number, date and Semantic Versioning.

1. Installation
2. How to use
3. Version Name Configuration
4. Version Code Configuration
5. File output options

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 'me.moallemi.gradle:advanced-build-version:1.7.1'
  }
}

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

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

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

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

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

advancedVersioning {
    codeOptions {
        versionCodeType 'GIT_COMMIT_COUNT'
    }
}

versionCodeType can be one of following params:

• GIT_COMMIT_COUNT will output total commits number in current branch
• DATE formatted number e.g.: 1501101614
• AUTO_INCREMENT_DATE will output 101101614
• 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 'AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP'
      dependsOnTasks 'release' // defaultValue
  }
}

Setting multiple tasks for dependsOnTasks property:

advancedVersioning {
  codeOptions {
      versionCodeType 'AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP'
      dependsOnTasks 'debug', 'release', 'assemble'
  }
}

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
