Help Getting list of apps with their versions

[groston]

What I am trying to do should be easy, but I haven’t figured out how to do this. What I want to do is simple: create a list of all installed apps and their version.

• One site suggested: adb shell sh -c 'cmd package list packages -f' – this worked, but did not show versions and it seems that ‘list packages’ cannot provide version info.
• Other sites suggested the app ‘List My Apps’, but the version info only seems to show up when one taps a specific app of interest.
• Other sites suggest writing a Java program, but that seems like way too much work for something this simple.

If it matters, I am running rooted Android 10.Any suggestions you can offer will be gratefully welcomed – thanks.

I use the following two commands to do what you're asking. This gives a very long detailed list of all apps installed.

adb shell
dumpsys package packages

To narrow down the output to just the version name or code, change the second command above to...

dumpsys package packages | grep -E 'Package \[|versionName'
dumpsys package packages | grep -E 'Package \[|versionCode'

GameTheory - Thanks. A tad of adjusting your solution, specifically to 'adb shell "dumpsys package packages" > D:/Users/<user>/Desktop/filename.txt' and I got what I needed.
