Access Build Config from parent project in Android

Question

I got an Android Studio project with some subprojects. From one subproject I need to access the Build Config of the parent project for checking if a new verison is available at the Google Play Store (comparing the local version number with the one at the play store). Within a project I can do it with:

BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME

But how can I get the version of the parent project?

Thanks

Okay I found it out by myselfe:

I'm using

intent.putExtra("VERSION", BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME);

on the parent activity and

getIntent().getExtras().getString("VERSION")

on the childactivity
