Android, ProGuard, and keepclasseswithmembernames

Question

A common pattern in ProGuard configs for Android applications is to preserve custom View classes, since they are probably referenced only from layout XML instea

Answer 1

The configuration in the Android SDK (at least up to version 11) is not entirely correct, indeed.

The configuration for Android in the ProGuard documentation correctly specifies "-keepclasseswithmembers", not "-keepclasseswithmembernames".
