What does “x” character represent in android versions?

In this official Android source page (https://source.android.com/setup/start/build-numbers) that contains the code names, API levels and versions numbers some of the versions contain the character x in its version number for example:

  • Froyo: the version number is 2.2.x
  • Honeycomb: the version number is 3.2.x

So what does x character represents in the version numbers?

Solution

  • I believe that the "x" stands for all the versions for the specified version. For example, 2.2.x stands for 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3.
