How to get android application last update information?

This example demonstrate about How to get android application last update information.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width = "match_parent"
   android:gravity = "center"
   android:layout_height = "match_parent"
   tools:context = ".MainActivity"
   android:orientation = "vertical">
   <TextView
      android:id = "@+id/text"
      android:textSize = "30sp"
      android:layout_width = "wrap_content"
      android:layout_height = "wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

In the above code, we have taken text view to show last update date.

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.myapplication;
import android.app.ActivityManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageInfo;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.RequiresApi;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   TextView textView;
   @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.P)
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND,
      WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      textView = findViewById(R.id.text);
      PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
      String pkgName = getApplicationContext().getPackageName();
      PackageInfo pkgInfo = null;
      try {
         pkgInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(pkgName, 0);
      } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
      Long ver = pkgInfo.lastUpdateTime;
      DateFormat simple = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss:SSS Z");
      Date result = new Date(ver);
      textView.setText("" +simple.format(result));
   }
}
