year data
Closed this issue · 6 comments
where are you getting the year data?
See footnote 1. from the Cumulative usage column: https://apilevels.com/#fn:1 for where the usage data comes from.
The Year column is not related to the usage, but rather the release date of the version in that row, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history which has references for each date.
cool thanks - I think it would be helpful to add the Wikipedia link to the page, since it is the source of that data
Sorry, that's not necessarily the source, I was just showing where to get more details.
It could be also the Javadoc of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES. If @ebelinski decides to add anything it should be probably that. Although in recent years Google got a bit lazy on with the docs there.
I'm curious, what is the reason for you query?

I wanted to compare the years of the API versions with the years of the different versions of Google Play Store, and I noticed that the years for the API versions were not sourced. I dont like "magic" numbers, so I think its good to at least clarify where the data came from.
Thanks! Raised a PR: #38, double-checked: each year matches VERSION_CODES + found blog posts for latter releases. Do you think this works?
