How can i get the current android sdk version (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, etc.) programmatically

A:
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.

Note that Build.VERSION.SDK_INT is only available on Android 1.6 and newer. Build.VERSION.SDK will work on all Android releases, including 1.5. However, once you elect to drop 1.5 support, switching to SDK_INT is a good idea.
