How to get the specific OS version in android?

Question

I need to give different functionalities for OS version > 4.4.2 and OS versions <= 4.4.2 .

When I used android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES for that purpose it is giving me the code corresponding to KITKAT for all versions of 4.4,4.4.1,4.4.2,4.4.3 . So how can I specifically differentiate between OS version 4.4.2 and 4.4.3?

You could use the Build.VERSION.RELEASE field for this, check this thread for specifics. However, I advise you to use the .VERSION_CODES field wherever possible.

You can try with android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE if it's fit your needs.

You can use this:

String myVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE; // e.g. myVersion := "1.6"
int sdkVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT; // e.g. sdkVersion := 8;

Maybe that'll help you a bit:

int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (currentapiVersion > 11){
    //your code here
}
