android ProGuard can File Name will change

Can we change file name like "MainActivity.java" to "ab.java" in proGuard, if yes than pls send me that code because i don't know how to put rules in ProGuard Confing file.

Solution

  • Activity class that are referenced from your AndroidManifest.xml can not be renamed (aka obfuscated) by ProGuard.

    This is due to the aapt process which will automatically create rules like this:

    # view AndroidManifest.xml #generated:14
-keep class com.example.HelloWorldActivity { <init>(...); }

    If you need to obfuscate also such classes, you will need to use a commercial obfuscator like DexGuard.
