Read versionName from build.gradle in bash

Expanding on Khozzy's answer, to retrieve versionName of your Android package from the build.gradle, add this custom task:

task printVersionName {
    doLast {
        println android.defaultConfig.versionName
    }
}

and invoke it so:

gradle -q printVersionName

You can define a custom task, i.e.

task printVersion {
    doLast {
        println project.version
    }
}

And execute it in Bash:

$ gradle -q pV
1.8.5
