Will not compile after including the library

[gogoalsoft]

After including the library in Android Studio 2.3, targeting SDK 25 by:

allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.HITGIF:TextFieldBoxes:1.3.8'
}

I got the following error:

Error:(754) Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format; did you mean to add the formatted="false" attribute?

which references a string resource:

%s%s%s%s

I THINK the correct way to do this, is either to set formated=false for this string, or specify in the way: %1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s.

Actually, if I include version 1.3.7, the error will go away, but since I am using SDK 25, there are some v26 errors. Does the library require linking to v26? What can I do?

[HITGIF]

Should be fixed now, trycompile 'com.github.HITGIF:TextFieldBoxes:3c9a1115f0'.
What specifically are the v26 errors? Are they affecting the compiling and usage?

[gogoalsoft]

I think the v26 errors come from the gradle file referencing v27 support and design libraries.
Some static resources must have been included in those and when I'm using sdk 25 those resources are missing. App will not compile as the R file cannot be created.

How do I include them?

What's your compileSdkVersion?
If it's below 27, upgrading it to 27 solves the issue.

The string resource compiling issue is now fixed in release 1.3.9.
