Get Android OS version of device connected via ADB [duplicate]

To get Android version you can use:

adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release

to get API level:

adb shell getprop ro.build.version.sdk

You can see all available properties with this command:

adb shell getprop

android shell adb

I know , you already got the correct solution , & here is my solution only for additional information.

You will get every details by cat ing the /system/build.prop file like

adb shell cat /system/build.prop

android shell adb

For all properties:

adb shell getprop
