Android: API Level on device

Question

How can I find out which API Level my device is using? I checked the firmware version of it. It's 1.6. Does that mean it uses API Level 4?

Answer 1

Yes, it does. Programmatically, use Build.VERSION: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION.html

Answer 2

Platform Version API Level

Android 2.1 -> 7

Android 2.0.1 -> 6

Android 2.0 -> 5

Android 1.6 -> 4

Android 1.5 -> 3

Android 1.1 -> 2

Android 1.0 -> 1

and yes, you can also use the Build.VERSION()
