How to get version number of another application?

I'm trying to listen for updates to apps that aren't my own. You can listen for intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED and use the uid to get the app name like so:

PackageManager manager = context.getPackageManager();
    String name = manager.getNameForUid(uid);

Is there any way to get that app's version number? I've looked through the PackageManager methods and couldn't find anything helpful.

That information is part of PackageInfo (versionCode and versionName).

You can get that via the PackageManager.getPackageInfo() method
