| 2 | |
| 3 | As described in Section 3.2.2 of the [Android 2.1 Compatibility Definition](android-2.1-cdd.pdf) |
| 4 | Definition</a>, only certain strings are allowable for the system property |
| 5 | <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that |
| 6 | applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and |
| 7 | so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android |
| 8 | running on their devices. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 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 2.1-based system. The only permitted values for |
| 14 | <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 2.1 are: |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - 2.1 |
| 17 | - 2.1-update1 |
