What is it meaning and is there any solution advice?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
do you use any cn1lib or include a custom version of the v4 support library?

This is triggered by this change: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/switching-on-android-marshmallow-permission-prompts.html

[mispro...@gmail.com]

Dear Shai,

Sorry I'm not quite seek out the solution, would you mean adding "codename1.arg.android.targetSDKVersion=23"? Would you have any example solution code?

Many Thanks,
Ronald

Dear Shai,

I have tried to change the target to 23 and using 23 platform but the more error come out

1)

In sdk 23 BookmarkColumns class has been removed:

Update your native code to not use it.

2)

Make sure you build with gradle (codename1.arg.android.gradle is set to true)

Thank you for your advice!
And would you know the value of the Browser constants which are removed

Compiling with JDK Java compiler API.

Dear Chen,

I'm wondering if the bookmark and its history can't be accessed and added / removed after android 6.0 esp. the bookmark from the Chrome?
What is your suggestion and example of it?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ronald

You should just not do that anymore, the android team decided this feature is problematic and shouldn't be exposed anymore.

Thanks.

But there is still a problem.
After I build the Android successfully, when I use your source file to compile in intellij, there are some errors
Error:(4677, 53) java: cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method checkSelfPermission(android.app.Activity,java.lang.String)

However, I have library of support.v4 already.
Please advice!

Thanks and Regards,
Ronald

Should be fixed already
