How to generate output APK file with Customised name in Android Studio?

Question

I want to generate output apk file using customized name. Eg. By default, android studio generates "app-debug.apk" file. But I want it to be - "MyAppName_myCurrentProdFlavour_vMyVersionName.apk" How to do this using build.gradle file of module

Answer 1

Easiest way

Before app_debug.apk

After com.pcvark.jobtest-v1(1.0)-debug.apk

android {
    ..
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        setProperty("archivesBaseName", applicationId + "-v" + versionCode + "(" + versionName + ")")
    }

Tip You can also set versionNameSuffix for different buildType and variant (if you have). This will make different named apk for both debug and release.

buildTypes {
        debug {
          versionNameSuffix "-T"
        }
        release {
          versionNameSuffix "-R"
        }
    }
