How to solve flavor “normal” has no flavor dimension in Android studio 3.0?

Question

While I was opening an google project called iosched, the gradle building was failed and kept warning me something about flavor. I tried to solve it follow some suggestions online but it turned out to warn me this. What should I do?? My Android studio version is 3.0 btw.

Answer 1

In the build.gradle of app module you must define flavorDimensions which is from Android studio 3.0. so do something like :

android { flavorDimensions "example" }

and inside ProductFlavors on same module use it as:

productFlavors { a { dimension "example" } b{dimension "example" }

here a and b are the types of product flavors. For more information refer to this link Configure Build Variants

Answer 2

I got this error (and several others) after importing a project from version control via Bitbucket hyperlink.

Once imported, close the project and re-import it using File > New > Import Project . After that everything built correctly. (My productFlavors were already defined properly)
