1 page.title=Permitted Version Strings for Android 4.2 2 @jd:body 3 4 <p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a href="/compatibility/android-4.2-cdd.pdf">Android 4.2 Compatibility Definition</a>, 5 only certain strings are allowable for the system property 6 <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that 7 applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and 8 so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android 9 running on their devices.</p> 10 <p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string, 11 but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new 12 Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are 13 allowable by an Android 4.2-based system. The only permitted values for 14 <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 4.2 are:</p> 15 <ul> 16 <li>4.2</li> 17 </ul> 18
