Increment of version number

Question

I would like your opinion and help on version 1.0.0.1 (example).

How can I make this increment automatically? Or more, as is usually or good practice, increase this number before and after the "points"?

Thank you!

Answer 1

I add a field on the screen that I want to show the version and feed that field as follows:

  Date buildDate = new Date(BuildConfig.TIMESTAMP);
  idversion.setText("Versão: " + buildDate.toString());

Of course, you can format it as you want based on the current date.
