For the Android Beginners there will be a confusion in understanding the difference between Android version and API levels.
Here I have explained in my point of view.
API levels
are defined in terms of developer’s side and it is more inside the platform
architecture, Each Android Device supports exactly one API level.
Version
Number specifies some changes or enhancement which can be seen by every user.
One API
level can have more than one version, but one version can have only one API
level.
The following table shows the API level , Android Versions and their features.
