Android Version History You Probably Don't Know !!! by ADEWUMIMichael(op): 9:51am On Aug 02, 2017
The version history of the Android mobile operating system began with the public release of the Android beta in November 5, 2007. The first commercial version,
Android 1.0, was released in September
2008. Android is continually developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance, and it has seen a number of updates to its base operating system since the initial release.




Versions 1.0 and 1.1 were not released
under specific code names. Android code names are confectionery-themed and have
been in alphabetical order since 2009's
Android 1.5 Cupcake, with the most recent
major version being Android 7.0 Nougat, released in August 2016.





Note: To clarify, support for e.g. Android
4.4.4 KitKat (Google's support cut-off),
means at least security patches in 2014, 2016 and 2017.[17] The updates may or may not reach actual users' devices; that
depends on vendors. Google (and others)
may support their own users' devices with
a major upgrade only, instead of a security
update to those older versions, but it's
possible to do. A version of Android KitKat exclusive to
Android Wear devices was released on
June 25, 2014, with an API level of 20 .




The development of Android started in
2003 by Android, Inc., which was purchased by Google in 2005.




Nougat 7.x (11.5%)

Marshmallow 6.x (31.8%)

Lollipop 5.x (30.1%)

KitKat 4.4.x (17.1%)

Jelly Bean 4.1.x–4.3.x (8.1%)

Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x (0.7%)


Gingerbread 2.3.x (0.7%)
