Android studio gradle flavors not showing in Build Variants

from what I understand, Android Studio is supposed to show the whole matrix of build variants and flavors in the "Build Variants" panel.

I've created an empty project, with the following build.gradle.

  buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 17
    buildToolsVersion "18.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 7
        targetSdkVersion 18
    }

    productFlavors {
        productFlavors {
            flavor1 {
                packageName "com.example.flavor1"
                versionCode 20
            }

            flavor2 {
                packageName "com.example.flavor2"
                minSdkVersion 14
            }
        }    }

}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
}

Even so, I only get "Debug" and "Release" as build variants, not the expected "Debugflavor1", "Debugflavor2", etc. Any ideas why this is happening? Is my assumption about the ability to include flavors wrong? If so, how can one build a flavor in Android Studio?

UPDATE, SOLVED: See first comment. You need to manually sync project with the gradle files via "Tools" - "Android" - "sync .."

In Studio 2024.1.1, at least, there are more situations that make a flavor disappear.

For instance, naming a flavor 'plus' results in the flavor being invisible in the Build Variants dialog. If the same flavor is renamed 'PLUS', voilà, it reappears.

In case it may help somebody: this happened to me before, where syncing the project with the gradle files didn't work, and I couldn't find any other way to select the flavor I wanted to build.

I quit Android Studio and started it again, and the Build Variants panel reappeared. Things were back to normal.

You need to update your project with your gradle changes. In the latest version of Android Studio (currently version 3.1.1) you would accomplish this with:
