<p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a
|
|
href="android-6.0-cdd.pdf">Android 6.0 Compatibility Definition</a>,
|
|
only certain strings are allowable for the system property
|
|
<code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that
|
|
applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and
|
|
so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android
|
|
running on their devices.</p>
|
|
<p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string,
|
|
but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new
|
|
Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are
|
|
allowable by an Android 6.0-based system. The only permitted values for
|
|
<code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 6.0 are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>6.0</li>
|
|
</ul>
