### (Optional) Auto-incrementing `versionCode`

I know it's nasty, and **I would love to see suggestions on how this can be done better :)**. Put this anywhere in your `build.gradle`:

#### Replace all `versionCode` references with calls to `getBuildVersion()`:

First one is `defaultConfig` definition:

```gradle
defaultConfig {
  applicationId "com.yourPackage.someMore"
  minSdkVersion 15 // because #minSDK15
  targetSdkVersion 22
  versionCode getBuildVersion(defaultValue: 1)
  versionName "0.0.1"
}
```

Second one is `fileName` construction:

```gradle
String fileName = [
  defaultConfig.applicationId,
  project.name,
  defaultConfig.versionName,
  getBuildVersion(increment: true)
].join('-')
```


### Publishing to the [Play Store](https://play.google.com/apps/publish/)

It appears that it's a wider topic and I'll address it in a next post. (But if you don't feel like waiting - use [this awesome plugin](https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher)).
