Assuming you install the apk file, you can try this:

ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(pkg, cls);
PackageInfo pinfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(comp.getPackageName(), 0);
versionName = pinfo.versionName;

where pkg is the name of the package, and cls is the name of the class inside of pkg.
