Cordova:Unable to build project with corodva-plugin-calendar

Question

I'm developing the cordova application, in which I want to have some kind of booking functionality through calendar. So for that, I installed very famous EddyVerbruggen/Calendar-PhoneGap-Plugin plugin.

But while building the project, it's throwing following error

/home/admin/Desktop/myApp/platforms/android/src/nl/xservices/plugins/Calendar.java:148: error: cannot find symbol
      if (PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED != ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this.cordova.getActivity(), type)) {
                                                            ^
  symbol:   method checkSelfPermission(Activity,String)
  location: class ContextCompat
/home/admin/Desktop/myApp/platforms/android/src/nl/xservices/plugins/Calendar.java:157: error: cannot find symbol

I also gone through following threads..but still no help

1. Android M (6) compatibility
2. Issue related to the new Cordova version CLI >5

My Environment

1. Cordova-CLI : 6.1.1
2. Android-Sdk : 23

So, what should I do to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

I had the same problem after updating my plugins. To save time, I just used an older version of the plugin.
