"Error:Attribute "style" has already been defined" error after adding facebook sdk from Maven

Question

I added facebook SDK via maven in the following way:

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.21.1'

When I compile, I am getting the error on my \app\src\main\res\values\colors.xml file as

Error:Attribute "style" has already been defined

Any Suggestions? It is very puzzling.

Gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion '21.1.1'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.rayat.pricewiz'
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName '1.0'
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile files('libs/androidmvcframework.jar')
    compile files('libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.8-jar-with-dependencies.jar')
    compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.2.jar')
    // You must install or update the Google Repository through the SDK manager to use this dependency.
    // You must install or update the Google Repository through the SDK manager to use this dependency.
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.71'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
    compile files('libs/CWAC-SackOfViewsAdapter.jar')
    compile 'com.daimajia.swipelayout:library:1.1.7@aar'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.21.1'
}

My colors.xml file:

The Facebook SDK has an attribute named "style" and in my case it seems to be conflicting with the same attribute name in JazzyViewPager

Open the intermediate file in the build directory and search for "name=style" to find out where the problem is originating

The gradle error will show you the command line with the intermediate file name
