Detect Android N version code

Question

Is it possible to detect if an user is running Android N?

I have a Nexus 6 with the Android N Developer Preview. If I try to get the build version with Build.VERSI

Answer 1

Quoting myself:

Following the approach that Google used for the M Developer Preview, you can check Build.VERSION.CODENAME instead:

public static boolean iCanHazN() {
  return("N".equals(Build.VERSION.CODENAME));
}

I haven't looked at Build.VERSION.RELEASE, as suggested by zgc7009's comment, though that too may be a possibility.

Also, if you are reading this from the far future, where Android N has shipped in final form, you should be able to use Build.VERSION.SDK_INT and Build.VERSION_CODES.N. The above hack is due to the idiosyncrasies of how Google handles these developer previews.
