问题
I have some doubts in steps of preparing the application to be published. I have reached step on Preparing for Release guide. So I only need to do these remaining steps?
I use Eclipse, export the Application using Export Wizard. But then, in Building with Eclipse section:
The Export Wizard compiles your application for release, signs your application with your private key, and optimizes your application with the zipalign tool.
Do I need to zipalign again?
- Obfuscate the application.
Feel free to edit my post if I miss something. Thanks a lot!
回答1:
No, you don't need to run zipalign again. ADT will do that for you when you export a signed application package.
You don't need to obfuscate your code yourself, so long as you have ProGuard configured properly. When you export a signed application package (which builds your application in release mode), ProGuard will obfuscate your code for you.
Enabling proguard is as simple as adding proguard.config=proguard.cfg to your project.properties file if you have the automatically generated proguard.cfg in your project root.
You really just need to follow the signing instructions. They are pretty straightforward and will guide you through all the necessary steps.

No need for zipalign tool.
When you'll use the The Export Android Application wizard to create the apk - just follow the steps and it will create a private key for you in case you don't have one.
These are the exact steps (done it!):
To create a signed and aligned APK in Eclipse:
- Select the project in the Package Explorer and select File > Export.
- Open the Android folder, select Export Android Application, and click Next. The Export Android Application wizard now starts, which will guide you through the process of signing your application, including steps for selecting the private key with which to sign the APK (or creating a new keystore and private key).
- Complete the Export Wizard and your application will be compiled, signed, aligned, and ready for distribution.
