@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
button = findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
androidVersion = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
switch (androidVersion) {
case 14:
textView.setText("15, Ice Cream Sandwich");
break;
case 15:
