1 page.title=Permitted Version Strings for Android 5.0 2 @jd:body 3 4 <p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a 5 href="/compatibility/android-5.0-cdd.pdf">Android 5.0 Compatibility Definition</a>, 6 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 5.0-based system. The only permitted values for 15 <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 5.0 are:</p> 16 <ul> 17 <li>5.0</li> 18 <li>5.0.1</li> 19 <li>5.0.2</li> 20 </ul> 21
