Question

I am about to release an application but, while i was building it using Export Tool of Android SDK in Eclipse, i get the error below.

• I didn’t change the proguard.cfg.
• It is in the root folder of my project.
• I only add proguard.config=proguard.cfg to default.properties.

I read the forum and update proguard (just copied the files to the tools folder of Android SDK), but still I doesn’t work. I couldn’t figure out what the problem is with the ‘Projects\Eclipse’ ??

If you help me, I will be so glad…

[2011-08-08 02:32:46 - CoolProject] Proguard returned with error code 1. See console
[2011-08-08 02:32:46 - CoolProject] proguard.ParseException: Unknown option 'Projects\Eclipse' in argument number 9

Answer 1

Yeah that is right, but also I did something that I didn’t know 🙂

My solution was:

1. I updated to latest Android SDK.
2. I changed SDK path property under Eclipse: Window > Preferences > Android > SDK Location as something like c:\Progra~1\android-sdk. The Progra~1 can be used for writing Program Files witout spaces. You can use DIR /X command in command prompt on Windows to get no space versions of Paths.
3. I moved my Eclipse Workspace to a location without spaces like D:\
4. The changes above didn’t enough to solve the problem. I got “Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1” error dialog witout any explanation on output console. Then I found that topic and did what that reply says.

Then it worked 😉

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x86. I hope it works for others too.
Arda.
