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 flavors like 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"
            }
        }
