Integrating quickblox with Proguard in android

Question

I am using QuickBlox in my Android application for chatting purpose.

[2014-09-22 12:32:48 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536 [2014-09-22 12:32:48 - xxxx] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

So then I was adviced to implement Proguard in the app to remove all unnecessary methods that are unwanted to application. But when I was installing signed apk with proguard integrated in my android device, I was facing this issue and app gets crashed with Null Pointer Exception while logging into QuickBlox.

I am just a Newbee at integrating Proguard, but I found that this only comes when I write the code for logging module of QuickBlox.

Answer 1

I solved this problem. Actually it was an error from my side. I forgot to CreateSession in QuickBlox from Android side.:

QBSettings.getInstance().fastConfigInit(APP_ID, AUTH_KEY, AUTH_SECRET);
QBAuth.createSession(new QBEntityCallbackImpl<QBSession>() {

        @Override
        public void onSuccess(QBSession session, Bundle params) {
            super.onSuccess(session, params);

            Log.i(com.hyperchat.Consts.TAG, "session created, token = "
                    + session.getToken());

        }

        @Override
        public void onError(List<String> errors) {

        }
    });

After implementing this, the error vanishes and app runs smmothly !!
