Android platform code, version, and API level

1. How to view the version number of the Code project

Android version:

View the android/build/CORE/version_defaults.mk file, including the Android version and

SDK version.

The terminal prints the version information at the beginning of compilation, for example, platform_version: 2.3.1.

Linux version:

The MAKEFILE file in the directory where the kernel is located starts with the following definition:

Version = 3
Patchlevel = 0
Sublevel = 13
Extraversion =
Name = sneaky Weasel
That is, the kernel version is 3.0.13.
