If you are using Flutter

Go to pubspec.yaml and find version: 0.9.04+4

The left part of the + is the version name, the right part is the version code. This will edit the local.properties file (inside Android folder) and set the respective versionName and versionCode

The easiest way to set the version in Android Studio:

1. Press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+S (or File -> Project Structure)

Android Studio < 3.4:

  1. Choose app (from left panel).
  2. Choose tab 'Flavors'
  3. The last two fields are 'Version Code' and 'Version Name'

Android Studio >= 3.4:

  1. Choose 'Modules' in the left panel.
  2. Choose 'app' in middle panel.
  3. Choose 'Default Config' tab in the right panel.
  4. Scroll down to see and edit 'Version Code' and 'Version Name' fields.

To change version of your app you have to change both of versionCode and versionName in the following files:

build.gradle:

defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.pms.app"
        minSdk 30
        targetSdk 31
        versionCode 2
        versionName "1.0.5-beta"
    }

app_config.json:

{
  "minSdkVersion": 21.0,
  "viewBindingEnabled": false,
............
  "useR8": false,
  "targetSdkVersion": 30.0,
  "versionName": "1.0.5-beta",
  "versionCode": 2.0,
  "zipAlignEnabled": false
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.pms.app"
    android:versionCode="2"
    android:versionName="1.0.5-beta">

The official documentation on this is here.

The short answer is do it in Gradle not the manifest, Gradle overwrites the manifest.

The File | Project Structure | Modules | Default Config answer given above just updates Gradle via a UI rather than by directly editing XML.

How to update the Gradle XML

The longer answer is:

If your app defines the app version directly in the element, the version values in the Gradle build file will override the settings in the manifest. Additionally, defining these settings in the Gradle build files allows you to specify different values for different versions of your app. For greater flexibility and to avoid potential overwriting when the manifest is merged, you should remove these attributes from the element and define your version settings in the Gradle build files instead.

You can easily auto increase versionName and versionCode programmatically.

For Android add this to your gradle script and also create a file version.properties with VERSION_CODE=555

android {
        compileSdkVersion 30
        buildToolsVersion "30.0.3"
    
        def versionPropsFile = file('version.properties')
        if (versionPropsFile.canRead()) {
            def Properties versionProps = new Properties()
    
            versionProps.load(new FileInputStream(versionPropsFile))
    
            def code = versionProps['VERSION_CODE'].toInteger() + 1
    
            versionProps['VERSION_CODE'] = code.toString()
            versionProps.store(versionPropsFile.newWriter(), null)
    
    
            defaultConfig {
                applicationId "app.umanusorn.playground"
                minSdkVersion 29
                targetSdkVersion 30
                versionCode code
                versionName code.toString()

Android version and code version number change on Android Studio >= 3.6:

Two ways to achieve this:

  1. Direct on the Android project by Open Flutter project and modify the file

    local.properties

change the following values. Example:

flutter.buildMode=release
flutter.versionName=3.0.0
flutter.sdk=C\:\\src\\flutter
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\vgonza\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk
flutter.versionCode=30
  1. Open pubspec.yaml

Change the 

version: 2.0.0+8

Meaning: The version name is 2.0.0 The version code is 8

See example by Suragch in:

I didn't get the other answers to work in Android Studio 1.4. But this worked: click on your app name to the left below the main ribbon. It will show a list of files. Open AndroidManifest.xml and change the version code and version number there.

You can manage your application versioning wisely by using the Advanced Build Version Plugin for Gradle.

You just need to include the plugin in yout build.gradle:

buildscript {
  repositories {
      jcenter()
  }

  dependencies {
      classpath 'org.moallemi.gradle.advanced-build-version:gradle-plugin:1.5.0'
  }
}

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

And then you can use the versioning functions (and, obviously, customize them):

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

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

For more information, take a look at the official documentation.

After updating the manifest file, instead of building your project, go to command line and reach the path ...bld\Debug\platforms\android. Run the command "ant release". Your new release.apk file will have a new version code.

You can define your versionName and versionCode in your module's build.gradle file like this :

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    .... //Other Configuration
}

Open your build.gradle file and make sure you have versionCode and versionName inside defaultConfig element. If not, add them. Refer to this link for more details.
