Compilation error on Android about cordova-plugin-photos HOT 7 CLOSED

Or, you may do the same in your project's build.gradle script: just replace JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6 to JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7, like that:

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }

from cordova-plugin-photos.

Android plugin is written on Java 7, but looks like you're trying to compile it with Java 6.
Just switch your project to Java 7 or 8:

1. Make sure you have installed JDK 7 or 8 (recommended).
2. In your project properties specify source and target compatibility 1.7 or 1.8 (if you use Android Studio, you may find it here: File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> android)

Thanks!!
I just added this properties

ext.postBuildExtras = {
android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}
}

into build-extras.gradle and put it on platforms/android

from cordova-plugin-photos.

Before opening a new issue, I noticed this one, marked as closed. I tried both solutions, via Android studio
File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> android

and by adding an build-extras.gradle extra file within the

platforms -> android -> build-extras.gradle

ext.postBuildExtras = {
    android {
        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
            targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        }
    }
}

But in both scenarios an error is throw: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qBykN.jpg Any thoughts @niconaso @domax ?

Okay, it seems that this plugin depends on:

cordova-plugin-compat

and somehow didn't get installed after adding this plugin. Adding it fixed the problem.

cordiva (or ionic) plugin add cordova-plugin-compat --save

I'll see if I can PR a short note for the readme, I think it will help some people out! :)

@dnmd : I've just added explicit dependency to cordova-plugin-compat
