Answer 1

I was looking for this and didn't find a solution - ended up here and I figured it out myself so for anyone out there looking for this:

int SDK_INT = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;

this returns os sdk level 7 eclair 8 froyo etc

Answer 2

To get the build version of Android like: 2.2, 2.3.3, 4.0 or 4.0.3 ... use the following code:

String deviceVersion = Build.VERSION.RELEASE;
