Not sdk version, android version
I need the android (os) version like 10, 11 14 etc

The sdk i already have

Thanks

From SDK Version you can get the Android Version.
Here the list

B4X:

    Dim s As String = NativeMe.RunMethod("getAndroidVersion", Null)
Log("OSVersion=" & TAB & s)



#If JAVA
public String getAndroidVersion() {
    String release = android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE;
    int sdkVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    return "Android SDK: " + sdkVersion + " (" + release +")";
} 
#End If

}
#End If

thanks

that looked very promising
i tried it
go error on NativeME as undeclared so this is what i did

B4X:

#If JAVA
public String getAndroidVersion() {
    String release = android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE;
    int sdkVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    return "Android SDK: " + sdkVersion + " (" + release +")";
} 
#End If

Sub Get_AndroidVersion() As String
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeContext

    'Dim s As String = NativeMe.RunMethod("getAndroidVersion", Null)
    
    Dim s As String = ""
    
    s = jo.RunMethod("getAndroidVersion", Null)

    Log("OSVersion=" & TAB & s)
    
    Return s

End Sub

still i get error

java.lang.RuntimeException: Method: getAndroidVersion not found in: ...

what am i doing wrong?
what am i missing?

SDK is 30 ，Android is 10

You will get the SDK version of the device.

Zeev Goldstein · Oct 20, 2024

so to summarize and check that i got you all guys right -
the sdk i get is the sdk of the device indicating the os version NOT the app's sdk
so i can rely on this as the android version of the phone itself
am i getting it right or wrong?

if i'm right - is there any function that translate the sdk to version so i won't be forced to keep on amending the function i will create?

thanks

In case it's useful, leave these functions that I use in my APK.

B4X:

public Sub GetVersionAndroid() As String
    If V_VersionAndroid = "" Then
        'Dim P As Phone
        V_VersionAndroid = GetSDKversion(False) ' P.SdkVersion
    End If
    Return V_VersionAndroid
End Sub

Sub GetSDKversion(SoloDevolverVersionComercial As Boolean) As String
    'https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platforms
    Dim versions As Map
    versions.Initialize
    versions.Put(3,"1.5")
    versions.Put(4,"1.6")
    versions.Put(7,"2.1")
    versions.Put(8,"2.2")
    versions.Put(10,"2.3.3")
    versions.Put(11,"3.0")
    versions.Put(12,"3.1")

    Rt = p.SdkVersion
  
    Try
        If SoloDevolverVersionComercial Then
            Rt = versions.Get(p.SdkVersion)
        Else
            Rt = Rt & ": " & versions.Get(p.SdkVersion) &  " " & p.Product
        End If
      
    Catch
        If SoloDevolverVersionComercial Then
            Rt = p.SdkVersion + "?"
        Else
            Rt = Rt & ": No en GetSDKversion"
        End If
        Log(LastException)
    End Try
    Return Rt
End Sub

Sub GetApiVesionSKD As String 'ignore

    Api = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build$VERSION", "SDK_INT")

GetApiVesionSKD is not used for me (may be have any problem!)

thanks for your reply and code sample
i think that the solution i got is much shorter and simpler (java based)
and most important it works and has no relation to sdk as i see in my handling so it is totally transparent and it's already being aplied in my project
anyways - thanks!

Thanks, I think I did this at the time, because I didn't know how to use inline java code in a module. Researching today (after several years), I have managed to find how to do it in this post that I consider very important and that is why I am attaching it here: How to execute inline java code anywhere in b4a:
(best solution: your solution!!!)

Inline Java Code

The next versions of B4A (4.30) and B4J (2.80) will allow you to embed Java code inside your B4X code. B4i supports similar feature with Objective C. The purpose of this feature is to make it easier to access third party SDKs and also to allow developers to add existing Java code snippets to...
