Support for Android 3.x and Jetpack

[alsocalledchris]

Building a Cordova App that uses Android 3.x and Jetpack does not build with the below errors:

• Error:(25, 34) error: package android.support.v4.content does not exist

I'm not able to change the compile target version (28) which looks like a solution that others have made. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

+1 Seeing this issue too.

seeing it as well, is there a workaround?

In order to support jetpack's format, dependency
android.support.v4.content should be changed to androidx.loader.content

FYI: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

Thanks @stck! From Android Studio I clicked Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX. After the scan, I clicked 'Do Refactor', and was then able to build to Android device again.

Hi there 👋 I have opened a PR for migrating to AndroidX: #418

cordova-android supports AndroidX since version 9.0. Are there any plans to move this plugin to AndroidX instead of support library?

Version 6 of the plugin uses AndroidX
