Proguard vs Annotations

Question

I have an app that uses ActiveAndroid, a database ORM library, that relies on annotations.

@Table(name=\"test\")
public class DatabaseItem extends ActiveReco         


        

Answer 1

In March 2013, Proguard version 4.9 was released, one of the fixes were:

Fixed overly aggressive shrinking of class annotations. 

So make sure that your Proguard version is up to date and then use Eric Lafortune's solution:

-keepattributes *Annotation*

You can also use this configuration to store all class members that has a specific annotation:

-keepclassmembers class * {
    @fully.qualified.package.AnnotationType *;
}
