| page.title=Permitted Version Strings for Android 2.1 |
| @jd:body |
| |
| <p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a href="/compatibility/android-2.1-cdd.pdf">Android 2.1 Compatibility Definition</a>, |
| only certain strings are allowable for the system property |
| <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that |
| applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and |
| so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android |
| running on their devices.</p> |
| <p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string, |
| but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new |
| Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are |
| allowable by an Android 2.1-based system. The only permitted values for |
| <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 2.1 are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>2.1</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>2.1-update1</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
