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.

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.
