Solution 1 - Android
The String Build.VERSION.RELEASE
will give you the user-visible version string (i.e 1.5, 1.6, 2.0), while Build.VERSION.SDK_INT
will give you a value from Build.VERSION_CODES
that would be better to use if you want to compare against it programatically.
Solution 2 - Android
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
buf.append("VERSION.RELEASE {"+Build.VERSION.RELEASE+"}");
buf.append("\\nVERSION.INCREMENTAL {"+Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL+"}");
buf.append("\\nVERSION.SDK {"+Build.VERSION.SDK+"}");
buf.append("\\nBOARD {"+Build.BOARD+"}");
buf.append("\\nBRAND {"+Build.BRAND+"}");
buf.append("\\nDEVICE {"+Build.DEVICE+"}");
buf.append("\\nFINGERPRINT {"+Build.FINGERPRINT+"}");
buf.append("\\nHOST {"+Build.HOST+"}");
buf.append("\\nID {"+Build.ID+"}");
Log.d("build",buf.toString());
