TypeError: Cannot read property 'getExternalFilesDir' of undefined

[Nahiduzzaman]

In Nativescript 6, I am using this plugin. I am getting this error when i call videorecorder.record(). On .catch() i am getting error "TypeError: Cannot read property 'getExternalFilesDir' of undefined"

On NS 6.1, I tried the modifications from #72 , and I still had an error until I did this : I replaced

if (android.support && android.support.v4) {
  androidSupport = android.support.v4;
} else if (androidx && androidx.core) {
  androidSupport = androidx.core;
}

by androidSupport = androidx.core;

What I suppose is even if you are on androidx, android.support.v4 stays still available, so the condition in the PR is wrong

Where did you write this code?

The source of the plugins have changed, so my last comm is obsolete
