Is there a simpler way than this?

    String VersionName;
    try
      {
        VersionName =
            getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0).versionName;
      }
    catch (android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException CantFindMe)
      {
        VersionName = "CANTFINDME"; /*!*/
      } /*catch*/
