In the android documentation there is nothing about Android 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels

Wikipedia however lists those as API 10 and other answers say it's API 10. Which is the logical thing since API 11 starts with Android 3.0 and there is no such thing like API 10,5...

So did they simply forget to mention it in the android reference? Or is that some kind of "unofficial Android" ?

Here is the thing, android's latest version kitkat(4.4) is api19.

After some minor update, the current kitakt version stands at 4.4.2, however the api version remains the same at 19.

Similarly, all the minor versions of android will not have a corresponding api verison.

  • Then why they explicitly mention `2.3.3` and `2.3.4` but not `2.3.5`? Was the 2.3.5 just a minor update while 2.3.4 was a major update? – donfuxx Mar 01 '14 at 10:32
  • The same platform version, doesnt even have reference to 4.4.2, so yeah, minor updates are not mentioned. – amalBit Mar 01 '14 at 10:35
  • Probably you are right. I do think that the version numbering for android is weird though, because you cannot really see if it is a major update or not from the version number. I mean 2.3.3 is major, 2.3.5 is just minor... – donfuxx Mar 01 '14 at 11:04
