How to check Android 12 API level?

Question

I am trying to check the android 12 API level using the below code.

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S)
{
     // Do something for Android 12 and above versions 
}
else
{
    // Do something for phones running an SDK before Android 12
}

but always execute else part when the run application in the android 12 beta device. is it another way to check the android 12 beta version?

Answer 1

To also detect Android 12 Beta versions you can use Build.VERSION.CODENAME like this:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S || "S".equals(Build.VERSION.CODENAME)) {
    // Android 12 or Android 12 Beta
}

Answer 2

BuildCompat.isAtLeastXX(), XX is your target version.

if (BuildCompat.isAtLeastS()) {
  //Checks if the device is running on a pre-release version of Android S or a release version of Android S or newer.
}
