proguard

I am trying to use progurard with my android applications. The proguardGui accepts an input, and an output, the input requires a jar file. but the APK file for android doesn't contain any jar? I tried passing the apk file, and also the dex file inside the apx, but proguard doesn't accept them as an input. proguard only accepts jars, ears, wars, zips so how can i use the proguard gui with my android application? I detailed complete instructions on how to do it here: http://www.androidengineer.com/2010/07/optimizing-obfuscating-and-shrinking.html Basically, you have to first set up an Ant build

I was asked to crate a simple app for android. The first one in fact that I'll be paid for, so I really don't want to screw it up :). One of the requirements was that the code must be obfuscated. I learned the general idea of obfuscating, but I don't want to make any silly mistakes. What precisely do I have to do to make the code obfuscated? Does exporting it as release do the job, or some other steps are required? Any remarks are also appreciated. PS. I'm using Eclipse if it matters. EDIT From the article suggested in the anwsers: To enable ProGuard so that it runs as part of an Ant or

When running proguard to build my apk file, I get the following error: Warning:Exception while processing task java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Josh\Documents\AdscendUnityPlugin2.1.3\AdscendUnityPlugin2.1.3\HelloUnity\Export\HelloUnity\build\intermediates\proguard-rules\debug\aapt_rules.txt (The system cannot find the path specified) My gradle file: // GENERATED BY UNITY.

Android从2.3的SDK开始，将ProGuard混淆代码的功能加入了进来。 我们可以从android sdk的tools目录下看到有一个proguard目录。说明具有了代码混淆的功能。 至于如何进行代码的混淆。我们需要做的很简单： 1、在用eclipse生成的android工程中都有一个project.properties文件，我们需要在该文件中增加下面一行代码： proguard.config=proguard.cfg 如图所示： 2、写混淆脚本proguard.cfg 我测试用的混淆脚本非常简单，只加了优化功能。如图所示： 对于proguard.cfg脚本的详细介绍参见： http://blog.csdn.net/laoyao_moyan/article/details/7353768 我们可以看到混淆android代码非常容易，但是需要注意的是：在eclipse下通过Run执行来生成的bin目录下的apk文件并没有被混淆，只有通过加入证书发布的apk才会混淆。 下面，我们来看看如何打包签名apk。 1、生成keystore； 在生成签名apk前，我们需要keystore，这个keystore可以用jdk下的keytool工具生成。 在cmd下，用命令行生成keystore如图所示： 按照上图中的命令，输入需要输入的内容。 其中，-alias android

I have an app that uses ActiveAndroid, a database ORM library, that relies on annotations. @Table(name="test") public class DatabaseItem extends ActiveRecordBase<DatabaseItem> { public DatabaseItem(Context context) { super(context); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub } @Column(name="counter") public int counter; } How do I get Proguard working nicely with this? Currently, I get errors about not finding a column name by ActiveAndroid when using Proguard. I guess it somehow mangles the annotation. My relevant Proguard configuration: #ActiveAndroid -keep public class com.activeandroid.**
