ERROR: All flavors must now belong to a named flavor dimension

Question

Screenshot from Android my build.gradle

It's my first encounter with flavor dimensions. I am trying to compile a ready-made code but somehow I ended up with this issue.

ERROR:

All flavors must now belong to a named flavor dimension. Learn more at https://d.android.com/r/tools/flavorDimensions-missing-error-message.html Affected Modules: app

I am sorry for being a noob and really don't know how to solve this. If someone had a solution please help me with this.

How to fix this?

Answer 1

From the Android documentation.

All flavors must belong to a named flavor dimension, which is a group of product flavors. You must assign all flavors to a flavor dimension; otherwise, you will get the build error shown below. If a given module specifies only one flavor dimension, the Android Gradle plugin automatically assigns all of the module's flavors to that dimension.

So if you don't care about having different flavor dimension naming you can specify one inside your module and it will be applied to all flavorslike below.

android { 
    ...
    flavorDimensions "default"
    ...
}

And if you care about different naming you can go with this approach:

android {
...
flavorDimensions "default"
...
}


 productFlavors {
            inmemory {
                ...
                dimension "DIM_NAME"
            }
            live {
                ...
                dimension "DIM_NAME_2"
            }
        }
