Hi,

Is there a way to get the underlaying OS version number, like 4.4.4 for Android?

Thanks,

There is no built-in function that will give you this information, but one work around is to use shell command via OS.execute(…) function

func get_os_version_number():
    var out = []
    OS.execute("getprop", ["ro.build.version.release"], true, out)
    return str(out[0])

NOTE: this will only work on android (obviously) :slight_smile:

Great. Thank you!!!

This solution doesn’t work. I wonder why Godot didn’t added it to the OS object…

Seems this doesn’t work an all phones. Is there another way to get the android version number?

EDIT: My error, is working on all of my devices
