List of API Level - Devices and SDK Versions in android

Is there a definitive list of features and their supposed API & SDK versions and supported Mobile devices?

Basically, when I want to use a features, lets say Tabs or SwipeViews, I want to see if its supported in Gingerbread version, etc. Simple!

If there is a page / site, that lists or allows me to search, that is what I am looking for.

I am having hard time finding this, even in Android documentation pages.

Solution

  • You can easily see which API something was added in by looking at it's documentation.

    For example, in the AsyncTask documentation, you can see that it has existed since API 3, as it is mentioned on the right edge of the screen, in the same line as the title:

    For individual methods and constants etc, you can scroll down to their documentation and see when they were added:

    Here you can see that SERIAL_EXECUTOR and THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR were added in API 11, while the constructor and cancel() have existed since API 3
