How to get device (AOSP) Build Number in Android devices programmatically?

Question

From within an Android Application, how can the hosting device's Build Number, as displayed in System Settings -> About Tablet -> Build Number be obtained programmatically for use within a Java Android application?

Currently, I'm using "android.os.Build".

Answer 1

Check this code..

in Build.FINGERPRINT you'll get the Build Number of the Device.

String mString = "";

    mString.concat("VERSION.RELEASE {" + Build.VERSION.RELEASE + "}");
    mString.concat("\nVERSION.INCREMENTAL {" + Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL + "}");
    mString.concat("\nVERSION.SDK {" + Build.VERSION.SDK + "}");
    mString.concat("\nBOARD {" + Build.BOARD + "}");
    mString.concat("\nBRAND {" + Build.BRAND + "}");
    mString.concat("\nDEVICE {" + Build.DEVICE + "}");
    mString.concat("\nFINGERPRINT {" + Build.FINGERPRINT + "}");
    mString.concat("\nHOST {" + Build.HOST + "}");
    mString.concat("\nID {" + Build.ID + "}");

    ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1)).setText(mString);
