Pick up the Android version in the browser by Javascript
function getAndroidVersion(ua) { ua = (ua || navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase(); var match = ua.match(/android\s([0-9\.]*)/i); return match ? match[1] : undefined;};getAndroidVersion(); //"4.2.1"parseInt(getAndroidVersion(), 10); //4parseFloat(getAndroidVersion()); //4.2
Use below code to get 2 digit version of Android
var ua = navigator.userAgent;if( ua.indexOf("Android") >= 0 ){ var androidversion = parseFloat(ua.slice(ua.indexOf("Android")+8)); if (androidversion < 2.3) { // do whatever }}For example
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; fr-ch; A43 Build/FROYO) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
will return Android Version = 2.2
I can't comment because I don't have enough rep...Just wanted to add that I had to change neiker's code to
var match = ua.match(/Android\s([0-9\.]*)/i);to make it case insensitive because the Galaxy S3 was returning "android" instead of Android in its user agent
