| 2 | @jd:body |
| 3 | |
| 4 | <p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a |
| 5 | href="/compatibility/android-5.0-cdd.pdf">Android 5.0 Compatibility Definition</a>, |
| 6 | only certain strings are allowable for the system property |
| 7 | <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that |
| 8 | applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and |
| 9 | so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android |
| 10 | running on their devices.</p> |
| 11 | <p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string, |
| 12 | but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new |
| 13 | Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are |
| 14 | allowable by an Android 5.0-based system. The only permitted values for |
| 15 | <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 5.0 are:</p> |
| 16 | <ul> |
| 17 | <li>5.0</li> |
