1) Download latest proguard from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/proguard/files/". Current latest version is proguard4.7

2) Replace "bin" and "lib" folder of "path of your SDK\tools\proguard" with latest downloaded proguard folders.

3) Check SDK location in eclipse for blank spaces in it and for that go to window > Preferences > Android. If there is blank space then replace it with:

Pathe of Android SDK

4) Check that proguard.cfg file is in your project's root folder and add "proguard.config=proguard.cfg" in project.properties file of android project.
