Could you please fix it?

Running into the same issue with a different fork of the plugin. The issue is the plugin is shipping with an android-support library that is causing conflicts with other plugins.

To solve it and get a build here are the steps I did:

1. Clean out any generated platform directory (platforms/android)
2. Comment out this line in the plugin's plugin.xml file:
   <lib-file src="libs/android/android-support-v4.jar" />
3. Renamed the android-support-v4.jar file in the plugin's libs/android folder to use a .tmp directory (probably not needed, but just to make sure).

Was able to successfully build and everything works.

I fixed it by installing "Android Support Repository" in the Android SDK Manager

Error

I also had the same error. I inspected the *plugins folder and found some issues:

• src/android was empty (other platforms too)
• www was empty
• There wasn't a plugin.xml.

There might have been more issues.

My solution

What I did was deleting the plugins folder from:

• root/plugins/
• root/platforms/android/platform_www/plugins/
• root/platforms/android/src/de/ (I didn't have other plugins from Germany)

After that I ran the command: phonegap run android again and the error was gone.

--UPDATE--

@bradrlaw: I have a build-extras.gradle in root/platforms/android to solve the problem with the android-support library.

build-extras.gradle:

configurations { all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' }

--UPDATE--

---

*plugins folder = root/plugins/de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

[amunters]

me too....

[rodrix]

I solved temporaly this issue downgrading the plugin version:

ionic plugin remove de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification
ionic plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.[email protected]

Hope this helps.

[amunters]

Thanks for the hint Rodrix. I tried downgrading step-by-step and found that 0.8.2 works OK.
With 0.8.3 and 0.8.4 I'ḿ getting following errors:

COLOR_DEFAULT cannot be resolved or is not a field Options.java /MainActivity/src/de/appplant
/cordova/plugin/notification line 262 Java Problem
DEFAULT_LIGHTS cannot be resolved or is not a field Options.java /MainActivity/src/de/appplant/cordova/plugin/notification line 245 Java Problem
The method setColor(int) is undefined for the type NotificationCompat.Builder Builder.java /MainActivity/src/de/appplant/cordova/plugin/notification line 130 Java Problem

[amunters]

Found it: I was using an outdated version of android-support-v4.jar in my Java build path. Replaced it by the latest version. No build errors anymore!

How I replace the android-support-v4.jar? please help

[serdarde]

I had the same problem today,

I am using facebook plugin and I tried to install "cordova-plugin-local-notifications". There is a conflict between those 2 plugin because facebook plugin uses the old version of android-support-v4.jar ...

After 6 hours fight(I shame of it..) I found solution for my app:

I found every single android-support-v4.jar file in my app (it is about 700kb) and changed it with new version. The new version is in android-sdk\extrasandroid\support\v4

I hope it will help for next victims..

(sorrry because of my bad english)

I solved this issue removing file:
/platforms/android/libs/android-support-v4.jar
