The integer representing the API level can be found at android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

So you could do:

int apiLevel = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;

The possible values of that integer across all devices can be found in here. If you want to compare versions against a named release of android, use the name of each constant here. You cannot compare the device version against the release numbers like 2.1 , 2.2 etc. so if you want to do that you must use the release name or API level, and then convert manually.

Keep in mind that android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT is supported since API level 4 (1.6) — Maaalte, Feb 24 '11 at 12:40
