error: expected reference but got (raw string) #000000 with Gradle "implementation"

[ValentinTaleb]

Thanks for this library that looks super cool.

Sadly, when I add implementation 'com.github.chyrta:AndroidOnboarder:0.7' to Gradle, I get this error: error: expected reference but got (raw string) #000000.

This error looks to point to this:

<style name="Widget.Support.CoordinatorLayout" parent="android:Widget">
        <item name="statusBarBackground">#000000</item>
</style>

This happen only when I use implementation instead of 'compile' (which is deprecated).

Can you do something to fully support the new implementation in Gradle?

I have exactly same problem.
It also points to

<style name="Widget.Support.CoordinatorLayout" parent="android:Widget">
        <item name="statusBarBackground">#000000</item>
</style>

Add this to your styles.xml to solve this issue <style name="Widget.Support.CoordinatorLayout" parent="android:Widget">
@null
</style>

Thanks for the answer but why is that needed? Is it a bug?
