You can try the following code to get the app version name:

PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
String pkgName = getApplicationContext().getPackageName();
PackageInfo pkgInfo = null;
try {
   pkgInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(pkgName, 0);
} 
catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
String versionName = pkgInfo.versionName;

The versionName variable stores the version name.

For fragments:

PackageInfo pkgInfo = getActivity().getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getActivity().getPackageName(), 0);
version = pkgInfo.versionName;
