1 page.title=Permitted Version Strings for Android 2.3 2 doc.type=compatibility 3 @jd:body 4 <p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a 5 href="{@docRoot}compatibility/android-2.3-cdd.pdf">Android 2.3 Compatibility 6 Definition</a>, 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 2.2-based system.</p> 15 <p>The value of <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 2.3 16 MUST be one of the following strings:</p> 17 <ul> 18 <li>2.3.3</li> 19 </ul> 20
