NativeScript Android API Version check

I added android platform to my nativescript app using the following command

tns platform add android

Now I cannot figure out which API version of the platform was added?

How can I figure this out?

latest docs say:

https://docs.nativescript.org/angular/ng-framework-modules/platform

import { isAndroid, isIOS, device, screen } from "tns-core-modules/platform";
class DeviceInfo {
    constructor(
        public model: string,
        public deviceType: string,
        public os: string,
        public osVersion: string,
        public sdkVersion: string,
        public language: string,
        public manufacturer: string,
        public uuid: string
    ) { }
}

class ScreenInfo {
    constructor(
        public heightDIPs: number,
        public heightPixels: number,
        public scale: number,
        public widthDIPs: number,
        public widthPixels: number
    ) { }
}

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    templateUrl: "./platform-module-example.html"
})
export class PlatformModuleExampleComponent {
    public isItemVisible: boolean = false;
    public deviceInformation: DeviceInfo;
    public isItemVisibleScreenInfo: boolean = false;
    public screenInformation: ScreenInfo;
    public deviceInfoButton: string = "Show device info";
    public screenInfoButton: string = "Show/Hide screen info";

    constructor() {
        this.deviceInformation = new DeviceInfo(
            device.model,
            device.deviceType,
            device.os,
            device.osVersion,
            device.sdkVersion,
            device.language,
            device.manufacturer,
            device.uuid);
        this.screenInformation = new ScreenInfo(
            screen.mainScreen.heightDIPs,
            screen.mainScreen.heightPixels,
            screen.mainScreen.scale,
            screen.mainScreen.widthDIPs,
            screen.mainScreen.widthPixels);
    }

    public checkPlatformType(args) {
        let message = "";
        if (isAndroid) {
            message = "You are using Android device";
        } else if (isIOS) {
            message = "You are using IOS device";
        }
        alert(message);
    }

    public deviceInfo(args) {
        if (this.isItemVisible) {
            this.isItemVisible = false;
            this.deviceInfoButton = "Show device info";
        } else {
            this.isItemVisible = true;
            this.deviceInfoButton = "Hide device info";
        }
    }

    public screenInfo(args) {
        if (this.isItemVisibleScreenInfo) {
            this.isItemVisibleScreenInfo = false;
            this.screenInfoButton = "Show screen info";
        } else {
            this.isItemVisibleScreenInfo = true;
            this.screenInfoButton = "Hide screen info";
        }
    }
}

The platform add android command will fetch all necessary files to start building apps for Android. I'll assume that you are asking about the compileSdk version of android apps - that is determined at Build time.

When you execute tns build/run android unless the --compileSdk 21/22/23/24/25 flag is specified, the latest version available on your system will be used.

So for example if I just recently downloaded Android SDK Build-Tools and SDK-Platform 25 from the Android SDK Manager the application package that is uploaded on the device will be built with platform 25.

Medium have a good article about compileSdk, targetSdk and minSdk that I recommend you read -> https://medium.com/google-developers/picking-your-compilesdkversion-minsdkversion-targetsdkversion-a098a0341ebd#.eoe0x9isx

Good luck!
