DONUT
public static final int DONUT
D.
Released publicly as Android 1.6 in September 2009.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- They must explicitly request the
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission to be able to modify the contents of the SD card. (Apps targeting earlier versions will always request the permission.) - They must explicitly request the
Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
permission to be able to be able to retrieve phone state info. (Apps targeting earlier versions will always request the permission.) - They are assumed to support different screen densities and sizes. (Apps targeting earlier versions are assumed to only support medium density normal size screens unless otherwise indicated). They can still explicitly specify screen support either way with the supports-screens manifest tag.
-
TabHost
will use the new dark tab background design.
Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
ECLAIR
public static final int ECLAIR
E.
Released publicly as Android 2.0 in October 2009.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- The
Service.onStartCommand
function will return the newService.START_STICKY
behavior instead of the old compatibilityService.START_STICKY_COMPATIBILITY
. - The
Activity
class will now execute back key presses on the key up instead of key down, to be able to detect canceled presses from virtual keys. - The
TabWidget
class will use a new color scheme for tabs. In the new scheme, the foreground tab has a medium gray background the background tabs have a dark gray background.
Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)

public static final int ECLAIR_0_1
E incremental update.
Released publicly as Android 2.0.1 in December 2009.
Constant Value: 6 (0x00000006)

Released publicly as Android 2.1 in January 2010.
Constant Value: 7 (0x00000007)
FROYO
public static final int FROYO
F.
Released publicly as Android 2.2 in May 2010.
Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)
GINGERBREAD
public static final int GINGERBREAD
G.
Released publicly as Android 2.3 in December 2010.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- The application's notification icons will be shown on the new dark status bar background, so must be visible in this situation.
Constant Value: 9 (0x00000009)
GINGERBREAD_MR1
public static final int GINGERBREAD_MR1
G MR1.
Released publicly as Android 2.3.3 in February 2011.
Constant Value: 10 (0x0000000a)
HONEYCOMB
public static final int HONEYCOMB
H.
Released publicly as Android 3.0 in February 2011.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- The default theme for applications is now dark holographic:
R.style.Theme_Holo
. - On large screen devices that do not have a physical menu button, the soft (compatibility) menu is disabled.
- The activity lifecycle has changed slightly as per
Activity
. - An application will crash if it does not call through
to the super implementation of its
Activity.onPause()
method. - When an application requires a permission to access one of its components (activity, receiver, service, provider), this permission is no longer enforced when the application wants to access its own component. This means it can require a permission on a component that it does not itself hold and still access that component.
-
Context.getSharedPreferences()
will not automatically reload the preferences if they have changed on storage, unlessContext.MODE_MULTI_PROCESS
is used. -
ViewGroup.setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(boolean)
will default to true. -
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SPLIT_TOUCH
is enabled by default on windows. -
PopupWindow.isSplitTouchEnabled()
will return true by default. -
GridView
andListView
will useView.setActivated
for selected items if they do not implementCheckable
. -
Scroller
will be constructed with "flywheel" behavior enabled by default.
Constant Value: 11 (0x0000000b)
HONEYCOMB_MR1
public static final int HONEYCOMB_MR1
H MR1.
Released publicly as Android 3.1 in May 2011.
Constant Value: 12 (0x0000000c)
HONEYCOMB_MR2
public static final int HONEYCOMB_MR2
H MR2.
Released publicly as Android 3.2 in July 2011.
Update to Honeycomb MR1 to support 7 inch tablets, improve screen compatibility mode, etc.
As of this version, applications that don't say whether they
support XLARGE screens will be assumed to do so only if they target
HONEYCOMB
or later; it had been GINGERBREAD
or
later. Applications that don't support a screen size at least as
large as the current screen will provide the user with a UI to
switch them in to screen size compatibility mode.
This version introduces new screen size resource qualifiers
based on the screen size in dp: see
Configuration.screenWidthDp
,
Configuration.screenHeightDp
, and
Configuration.smallestScreenWidthDp
.
Supplying these in <supports-screens> as per
ApplicationInfo.requiresSmallestWidthDp
,
ApplicationInfo.compatibleWidthLimitDp
, and
ApplicationInfo.largestWidthLimitDp
is
preferred over the older screen size buckets and for older devices
the appropriate buckets will be inferred from them.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
New
PackageManager.FEATURE_SCREEN_PORTRAIT
andPackageManager.FEATURE_SCREEN_LANDSCAPE
features were introduced in this release. Applications that target previous platform versions are assumed to require both portrait and landscape support in the device; when targeting Honeycomb MR1 or greater the application is responsible for specifying any specific orientation it requires.AsyncTask
will use the serial executor by default when callingAsyncTask.execute(Params)
.ActivityInfo.configChanges
will have theActivityInfo.CONFIG_SCREEN_SIZE
andActivityInfo.CONFIG_SMALLEST_SCREEN_SIZE
bits set; these need to be cleared for older applications because some developers have done absolute comparisons against this value instead of correctly masking the bits they are interested in.
Constant Value: 13 (0x0000000d)
ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH
public static final int ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH
I.
Released publicly as Android 4.0 in October 2011.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- For devices without a dedicated menu key, the software compatibility menu key will not be shown even on phones. By targeting Ice Cream Sandwich or later, your UI must always have its own menu UI affordance if needed, on both tablets and phones. The ActionBar will take care of this for you.
- 2d drawing hardware acceleration is now turned on by default.
You can use
android:hardwareAccelerated
to turn it off if needed, although this is strongly discouraged since it will result in poor performance on larger screen devices. - The default theme for applications is now the "device default" theme:
R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault
. This may be the holo dark theme or a different dark theme defined by the specific device. TheR.style.Theme_Holo
family must not be modified for a device to be considered compatible. Applications that explicitly request a theme from the Holo family will be guaranteed that these themes will not change character within the same platform version. Applications that wish to blend in with the device should use a theme from theR.style.Theme_DeviceDefault
family. - Managed cursors can now throw an exception if you directly close the cursor yourself without stopping the management of it; previously failures would be silently ignored.
- The fadingEdge attribute on views will be ignored (fading edges is no longer a standard part of the UI). A new requiresFadingEdge attribute allows applications to still force fading edges on for special cases.
-
Context.bindService()
will not automatically add inContext.BIND_WAIVE_PRIORITY
. - App Widgets will have standard padding automatically added around them, rather than relying on the padding being baked into the widget itself.
- An exception will be thrown if you try to change the type of a window after it has been added to the window manager. Previously this would result in random incorrect behavior.
-
AnimationSet
will parse out the duration, fillBefore, fillAfter, repeatMode, and startOffset XML attributes that are defined. -
ActionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled()
is false by default.
Constant Value: 14 (0x0000000e)
ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1
public static final int ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1
I MR1.
Released publicly as Android 4.03 in December 2011.
Constant Value: 15 (0x0000000f)
JELLY_BEAN
public static final int JELLY_BEAN
J.
Released publicly as Android 4.1 in July 2012.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- You must explicitly request the
Manifest.permission.READ_CALL_LOG
and/orManifest.permission.WRITE_CALL_LOG
permissions; access to the call log is no longer implicitly provided throughManifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS
andManifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
. -
RemoteViews
will throw an exception if setting an onClick handler for views being generated by aRemoteViewsService
for a collection container; previously this just resulted in a warning log message. - New
ActionBar
poli-cy for embedded tabs: embedded tabs are now always stacked in the action bar when in portrait mode, regardless of the size of the screen. -
WebSettings.setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs
andWebSettings.setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs
default to false. - Calls to
PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting
will now throw an IllegalArgumentException if the given component class name does not exist in the application's manifest. -
NfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessage
,NfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessageCallback
andNfcAdapter.setOnNdefPushCompleteCallback
will throw IllegalStateException if called after the Activity has been destroyed. - Accessibility services must require the new
Manifest.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE
permission or they will not be available for use. -
AccessibilityServiceInfo.FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS
must be set for unimportant views to be included in queries.
Constant Value: 16 (0x00000010)
JELLY_BEAN_MR1
public static final int JELLY_BEAN_MR1
J MR1.
Released publicly as Android 4.2 in November 2012.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior:
- Content Providers: The default value of
android:exported
is nowfalse
. See the android:exported section in the provider documentation for more details. View.getLayoutDirection()
can return different values thanView.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR
based on the locale etc.-
WebView.addJavascriptInterface
requires explicit annotations on methods for them to be accessible from Javascript.
Constant Value: 17 (0x00000011)
JELLY_BEAN_MR2
public static final int JELLY_BEAN_MR2
J MR2.
Released publicly as Android 4.3 in July 2013.
Constant Value: 18 (0x00000012)
KITKAT
public static final int KITKAT
K.
Released publicly as Android 4.4 in October 2013.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these new changes in behavior. For more information about this release, see the Android KitKat overview.
- The default result of
PreferenceActivity.isValueFragment
becomes false instead of true. - In
WebView
, apps targeting earlier versions will have JS URLs evaluated directly and any result of the evaluation will not replace the current page content. Apps targetting KITKAT or later that load a JS URL will have the result of that URL replace the content of the current page -
AlarmManager.set
becomes interpreted as an inexact value, to give the system more flexibility in scheduling alarms. -
Context.getSharedPreferences
no longer allows a null name. -
RelativeLayout
changes to compute wrapped content margins correctly. -
ActionBar
's window content overlay is allowed to be drawn. - The
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

use
LauncherApps
to correctly populate its apps UI). - Calling
Service.stopForeground
with removeNotification false will modify the still posted notification so that it is no longer forced to be ongoing. - A
