| page.title=Permitted Version Strings for Android 5.1 | |
| @jd:body | |
| <p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a | |
| href="/compatibility/android-5.1-cdd.pdf">Android 5.1 Compatibility Definition</a>, | |
| only certain strings are allowable for the system property | |
| <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that | |
| applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and | |
| so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android | |
| running on their devices.</p> | |
| <p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string, | |
| but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new | |
| Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are | |
| allowable by an Android 5.0-based system. The only permitted values for | |
| <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 5.1 are:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>5.1</li> | |
| </ul> |
