Android Q emulator - Build.VERSION.SDK_INT returns 28

 Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

returns 28 instead of 29 when running on Android Q emulator. Is there anything I am missing? I am trying to add logic specifically for Android Q but I do not know how to determine this version correctly.

app.gradle file contains

    targetSdkVersion = 'Q'
    compileSdkVersion = 'android-Q'
Solution

  • Before the API is finalized and officially becomes API 29 (where you'd use compileSdkVersion 29, etc), you must use BuildCompat.isAtLeastQ():

    Checks if the device is running on a pre-release version of Android Q or newer.

    Note: This method will return false on devices running release versions of Android. When Android Q is finalized for release, this method will be deprecated and all calls should be replaced with Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q.
