As described on Android Documentation API level can be retrieved using

android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

The class corresponding to this int is in the android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES class.

Code example:

int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;

Log.d("sdk version",""+currentapiVersion );


if (currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
    // Do something for lollipop and above versions
} else{
    // do something for phones running an SDK before lollipop
}

Build.VERSION.SDK_INT tells you the API level that the device runs, which is usually all that a developer will need.

There are other fields on Build.VERSION that may be of interest to you, if your goal is to display that information to users.

You can check with android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT To check if device is running Android lollipop or above :

if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
  // do something
}
