Hi all

How do I check the running time of the Android version?

How do I check the running time of the Android version?

What do you mean?
how long was the android version the latest until it was replaced by another version?

Yes, that is what I mean.

With a API.

Android OS

Check end-of-life, release policy and support schedule for Android OS.

endoflife.date

and with

https://endoflife.date/api/android.json

you get a json string.

You can always query the json string, then you are always up to date, or you can copy it and put it in your app.

Paste the json string to the following website to generate B4X code:

Thanks for the help, Alexander Stolte
.
But it seems that I did not explain the meaning clearly.
Suppose that the user bought a new device and started using it five years and 4 months ago, this is the required period of time.

That's a completely different question...
I would recommend you to open a new thread where the question is exactly this what you explained in #5. Because this has nothing to do with the android version, you want to know how long the smartphone has been in use and not the android version.

the os has several ways of telling you how long a device has been up. unless the user (who purchased the device 5 yrs and 4 months ago) has never re-booted the device, he doesn't need programming to tell him what he already knows.

@drgottjr
In the Windows operating system, there is a way to programmatically find out the time the user has spent using the operating system. Is there a way to do that in Android?

 

[drgottjr]

search google: "how long have i been using my android device". several options offered. one may be what you're looking for. there may or may not be an api for the one you want.
