Retrieving Android API version programmatically

Question

Is there any way to get the API version that the phone is currently running?

Answer 1

I improved code i used

public static float getAPIVerison() {

    float f=1f;
    try {
        StringBuilder strBuild = new StringBuilder();
        strBuild.append(android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE.substring(0, 2));
        f= Float.valueOf(strBuild.toString());
    } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
        Log.e("myApp", "error retriving api version" + e.getMessage());
    }

    return f;
}
