Phonegap build failed with latest version (2.1.1)

[trusteddigital]

Please excuse me if I've not provided enough info or done something stupid.

I've just ran a new build through Phonegap Build for the first time since January (when it compiled successfully) and failed with the error message below. It warned to check any plugins using databasehelper.java of which this the the only one.

I hadn't specified a version of the plugin to use so it was pulling the latest from NPM. In January I think that would have been 2.0.0.

So when I specified to use 2.0.0, it compiled okay. Any pointers? Or do you need any more info?

What is your target sdk version? Can you try setting it as 26?

[trusteddigital]

Interesting. Phonegap Build defaults to 25. Changing to 26, I don't have that particular error now. But a whole lot of others which likely relate to other plugins. I'll work through those then confirm that this is sorted on that SDK. Apologies if I missed that this is written somewhere about minimum SDK versions.

[an-rahulpandey]

Ah! I have not added it in the doc, will add it. I added that minimum sdk requirements very recently, since in Android 9 it is required to close the database.

So this is a breaking change, if target version is lower then 26 ? my targetsdk is still 22

[an-rahulpandey]

@svereecke Yes, it doesn't work with older target sdk version.This is the if condition which requires target sdk version 26 -

[svereecke]

but this build failes if the targetversion is lower : /project/src/me/rahul/plugins/sqlDB/DatabaseHelper.java:41: error: cannot find symbol if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

? is there another workaround except using an older version of the plugin ?

[an-rahulpandey]

install the plugin using Github url, I have updated the code to use constant value 26

[svereecke]

thanks , that works
