I have a bunch of classes that use e.g. an @Singleton annotation like so
@Singleton
public class ImageCache
that I would like to keep. How can I configure a proguard -keep statement so it applies to all classes that have that annotation.
Btw in terms of context I need this for an app using Roboguice on Android, which is why I added the tags. Might help others.
ProGuard is based on a java-like configuration with wild-cards. It does require fully qualified class names. This should work:
-keep @com.google.inject.Singleton public class *
First define an annotation
public @interface DoNotStrip {}
Then put this in proguard.cfg:
-keep,allowobfuscation @interface com.something.DoNotStrip
# Do not strip any method/class that is annotated with @DoNotStrip
-keep @com.something.DoNotStrip class *
-keepclassmembers class * {
@com.something.DoNotStrip *;
}
