Proguard Android using Action Bar Sherlock

Question

---

EDIT 4: I've tried taking out Action Bar Sherlock and Proguard did it ok. So I guess it is a problem with android-support-v4.jar.

I tried this when including the ABS library, but it didn't work..

-keep class android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep interface android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }
-keep interface com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }

-keepattributes *Annotation*

Finally, What is weird is that I tried without the ABS library and without proguard-android.txt and it worked as well.

I have no clue of what the problem is.

---

I've read tons of Q/A about this and tried many solutions but none worked out.

I've tried doing:

-injars libs/**

And:

-libraryjars  libs/**

And other things that didn't work..Could you give me your opinion on what I should do?

I am using 4 external jars:

• apache-mime4j-0.6.jar
• httpclient-4.2.2.jar
• httpcore-4.2.2.jar
• httpmime-4.2.2.jar

This is error console when I tried to export the signed apk:

EDIT

First, thank you Eric for your answer.

I tried:

 -dotwarn org.apache.common.**

and

 -dontwarn org.**

But it shows the exact same console errors.

I saw this thread so I tried adding a new classpath variable with the path to sdk but it shows the same console errors.

This is my project.properties file where it refers too to the Action Bar Sherlock

    # This file is automatically generated by Android Tools.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file must be checked in Version Control Systems.
#
# To customize properties used by the Ant build system edit
# "ant.properties", and override values to adapt the script to your
# project structure.
#
# To enable ProGuard to shrink and obfuscate your code, uncomment this (available properties: sdk.dir, user.home):
proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

# Project target.
target=android-15
android.library=false
android.library.reference.1=../JakeWharton-ActionBarSherlock-5b15c92/actionbarsherlock

EDIT 2:

As it says on Action Sherlock Bar website I tried this too without changing at all the error console:

-keep class android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep interface android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }
-keep interface com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }

-keepattributes *Annotation*

EDIT 3:

I tried taking off the external jars (not ABS which is a library) from the project but it still shows the exact same error. I dont get where it is coming from.

Answer 1

I have answered this before here, I am putting it here too so that it may help someone.

I had the same issue and read somewhere a workaround to this issue and it was to disable minifyEnabled, generate signed APK.

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles 'proguard-project.txt'
    }

I never face this issue before updating buildTool to 23.0.

Also, with this newer version, you need to add this to your Progaurd.txt file.

-keep public class com.google.android.gms.* { public *; }
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**

Hope this helps to resolve your issue too.

Some classes like org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory are missing from your libraries. Apparently, your application doesn't use them anyway, so you can tell ProGuard it's okay. For instance:

-dontwarn org.apache.commons.**

See the ProGuard manual > Troubleshooting > Warning: can't find referenced class.

Other classes like org.apache.http.** are already present in the Android runtime. You shouldn't duplicate them in your application libraries, since the versions in the Android runtime get precedence anyway.

See the ProGuard manual > Troubleshooting > Warning: library class ... depends on program class ...

Finally, you shouldn't specify -injars or -libraryjars options in your configuration file. The Ant/Eclipse/Gradle build process already automatically specifies all the necessary -injars, -outjars, and -libraryjars for you, based on the contents of your project.

See the ProGuard manual > Troubleshooting > Note: duplicate definition of program/library class
