Here's an example to test for Froyo, pretty self explanatory for other versions

For below API level 4:

           int b = Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK);
            Log.i(TAG, "SDK: "+b);

For above API lvl 4:

            int b = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
            Log.i(TAG, "SDK: "+b);

Version:

           if(b == Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO){
                Log.i(TAG, "Found Froyo");
            }

The Build Class is easy to use : Build

if(Integer.decode(Build.VERSION.SDK) >=8) {
// shiny APIS 
 } else  {
    // old APIS
 }

check the excellent presentation by Reto Meier and the Parallel Activity pattern : here

Maybe this helps http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION.html

Use SDK_INT to compare with the various flavours
