ClassNotFoundException: twitter4j.conf.PropertyCon

Question

If I don't run pro-guard on my project, everything is fine but if I run pro-guard and install .apk in device, I am getting above error. I tried adding following lines in proguard-android.txt file

-keep public class twitter4j.conf.PropertyConfigurationFactory

-dontwarn twitter4j.**

but it did not make any difference.

I am using default proguard-android.txt file from SDK

and setting it in project.properties like below

proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

I had a look at this link for same issue but could not understand that and also googling did not helped me much.

So, could anybody please tell me what is wrong here?

Thanks in advance

Edit :

Logcat error after removing public qualifier:

Answer 1

The class is not public, so you should remove the "public" keyword in your -keep option, or the template won't match.
