Question

In my app, I have been using some of these function that are coming up as unknown when using Android 6.0 (buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"), th

Answer 1

How can I use the same functions going forward with Android 6.0.

You can't, in terms of the Android SDK.

What does this exactly mean? "Instead, your app should store bookmarks data internally"???

If you were using the bookmarks provider for storing your own bookmarks (e.g., you wrote your own Web browser), store your bookmarks in your own data store (e.g., a SQLite database).

(and, ideally, write some code to do that now, and ship it, so users whose devices are upgrading to Android 6.0 are not locked out of the bookmarks you put into the Bookmarks provider)

so this means that getting Browser history of Chrome app is not possible?

At least not through the Android SDK's Browser provider. I have no idea if the Chrome team is exposing the browser history through some other documented and supported public API. The same holds true for any other Android Web browser (e.g., Firefox).
