Calender.getInstance() gives error in Android Studio

Question

I'm trying to pop-open a DatePicker dialogue box when my EditText is clicked. The problem is, when I try to instantiate my Calender object with Calender.getInstance() the creepy-red-underline appears below getInstance().

Calender myCalender = Calender.getInstance();

Hover over it and it says

Call requires API level 24(current minimum is 15).

Obviously I expect my app to run on devices at the minimum API level 15. Please help me with this, I'm new to Android. Thank you.

I tried to follow this method to add a DatePicker to my EditText

Solution

You have the wrong import statement for Calendar. It needs to be java.util.Calendar. My guess is that you have an import for android.icu.util.Calendar.
