Here's an example:

StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(); buf.append("VERSION.RELEASE {"+Build.VERSION.RELEASE+"}"); buf.append("\nVERSION.INCREMENTAL {"+Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL+"}"); buf.append("\nVERSION.SDK_INT {"+Build.VERSION.SDK_INT+"}"); buf.append("\nFINGERPRINT {"+Build.FINGERPRINT+"}"); buf.append("\nBOARD {"+Build.BOARD+"}"); buf.append("\nBRAND {"+Build.BRAND+"}"); buf.append("\nDEVICE {"+Build.DEVICE+"}"); buf.append("\nMANUFACTURER {"+Build.MANUFACTURER+"}"); buf.append("\nMODEL {"+Build.MODEL+"}");

Complete android.os.Build documentation is at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html

Note that VERSION.SDK is marked as deprecated, so VERSION.SDK_INT was used instead.

Extending to what CommonsWare suggested, I think here's what you need:

Build.VERSION_CODES: Enumeration of the currently known SDK version codes. These are the values that can be found in SDK. Version numbers increment monotonically with each official platform release.

DONUT : Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
ECLAIR : Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)
ECLAIR_0_1 : Constant Value: 6 (0x00000006)
ECLAIR_MR1 : Constant Value: 7 (0x00000007)
FROYO : Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)
GINGERBREAD : Constant Value: 9 (0x00000009)

Build class: Information about the current build, extracted from system properties.
Build.MODEL
Build.PRODUCT

Build.VERSION: Various version strings.
Build.VERSION.RELEASE
Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

thanks to both @CommonsWare and @TheCottonSilk, i got the solution from Build class.
