Android Question [Answered] What Is Best Practice to Get SDK Number?

[Jorge M A]

Hello Everyone!

What is the best practice to get SDK number, considering permissions, library size, performance, etc.?
Reflector or Phone?

Sub SDKVersion As Int
    Dim r As Reflector
    Dim ver As Int
    ver = r.GetStaticField("android.os.Build$VERSION", "SDK_INT")
    Return ver
End Sub

Sub GetSDK() As Int
    Dim p As Phone
    Return p.SdkVersion
End Sub

(both snippets taken somewhere the forum)

Thank you!

They are both essentially the same code as Phone does this

  public static int getSdkVersion()
  {
    return Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
  }

I would just use Phone.
