Check if device is running Android 4.3

Question

I have an app which needs to do something differently on new Android 4.3 devices. I was looking at using:

http://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/platforms.html#version-codes

To check the version is 4.3 however there does not seem to be a Build.VERSION_CODES for 4.3?

So how could I go about finding out if the device is running Android 4.3

Sure there is. Android 4.3 is JELLY_BEAN_MR2. Your build target (e.g., Project > Properties > Android in Eclipse) will need to be set to API Level 18.

This should get the job done.

android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE

That will give you the actual numbers of your version; aka 2.3.3 or 2.2.
