| Robert Ly | 35f2fda | 2013-01-29 16:27:05 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | only certain strings are allowable for the system property |
| 6 | <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that |
| 7 | applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and |
| 8 | so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android |
| 9 | running on their devices.</p> |
| 10 | <p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string, |
| 11 | but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new |
| 12 | Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are |
| 13 | allowable by an Android 4.0-based system. The only permitted values for |
| 14 | <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 4.0 are:</p> |
| 15 | <ul> |
| 16 | <li> |
| 17 | <p>4.0</p> |
| 18 | </li> |
| 19 | <li> |
| 20 | <p>4.0.1</p> |
| 21 | </li> |
| 22 | <li> |
| 23 | <p>4.0.3</p> |
| 24 | </li> |
| 25 | <li> |
| 26 | <p>4.0.4</p> |
| 27 | </li> |
| 28 | </ul> |
