VERSIONCODESLOLLIPOP

VERSIONCODESLOLLIPOP is a constant integer value used in the Android operating system to identify a specific version of the Android platform. This constant is part of the Build class within the Android SDK. Specifically, VERSIONCODESLOLLIPOP represents Android 5.0, also known by its codename Lollipop. Developers use these version codes to check the device's Android version and implement features that are only available in certain Android releases or to gracefully handle code that is not compatible with older versions.

When a developer wants to use a feature introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop, they would typically write code such as if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { // Code specific to Lollipop and later }. This conditional logic ensures that the application behaves correctly on devices running Lollipop or newer, while potentially offering alternative functionality or skipping the feature on older devices where it is not supported. The use of VERSIONCODES constants is a fundamental aspect of writing backward-compatible Android applications.
