Android API Version programmatically [duplicate]

Answer 1

It is defined on the android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK constant, just use it.

Answer 2

Build.VERSION.RELEASE;

That will give you the actual numbers of your version; aka 2.3.3 or 2.2.

The problem with using Build.VERSION.SDK_INT is if you have a rooted phone or custom rom, you could have a none standard OS (aka my android is running 2.3.5) and that will return a NULL when using Build.VERSION.SDK_INT so Build.VERSION.RELEASE will work no matter what!

Answer 3

You can get it by calling Build.VERSION.SDK.

From 1.6 on, you should use Build.VERSION.SDK_INT instead
because Build.VERSION.SDK is deprecated.
