Question

I use Google Analytics V2 library in my project.

When I export signed application package from Eclipse I get following output in Console:

Proguard returned with error code 1. See console
  Warning: com.google.analytics.tracking.android.FutureApis: can't find referenced method 'boolean setReadable(boolean,boolean)' in class java.io.File
  Warning: com.google.analytics.tracking.android.FutureApis: can't find referenced method 'boolean setWritable(boolean,boolean)' in class java.io.File
        You should check if you need to specify additional program jars.
  Warning: there were 2 unresolved references to program class members.
           Your input classes appear to be inconsistent.
           You may need to recompile them and try again.
           Alternatively, you may have to specify the option 
           '-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclassmembers'.
  java.io.IOException: Please correct the above warnings first.

Here’s my proguard.cfg

-optimizationpasses 5
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify
-dontwarn android.support.**
-verbose
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*

-keep public class * extends android.app.Activity
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application
-keep public class * extends android.app.Service

-keep public class com.android.vending.licensing.ILicensingService
-keep public class * extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment
-keep public class * extends android.app.Fragment

-keepclasseswithmembernames class * {
    native <methods>;
}

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet);
}

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, int);
}

-keepclassmembers enum * {
    public static **[] values();
    public static ** valueOf(java.lang.String);
}

-keep class * implements android.os.Parcelable {
  public static final android.os.Parcelable$Creator *;
}

-keepclassmembers class **.R$* {
  public static <fields>;
}

-keep class com.flurry.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.flurry.**

If I add -dontwarn com.google.analytics.tracking.android.FutureApis to config then I get

Any hints?

Answer 1

I’ve also faced this problem. As there’s no official solution in the GA documentation yet, I made up this set of rules:

-keep class com.google.android.gms.analytics.**
-keep class com.google.analytics.tracking.**
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.analytics.**
-dontwarn com.google.analytics.tracking.**

This skips obfuscation as well, but that should not be a problem for an external libary..
