Android Question #EcludeClasses .measurement removes analytics classes?

[corwin42]

I have a project that uses Google Analytics.

If I use

#ExcludeClasses: .measurement

it seems that the analytics classes get removed:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/analytics/GoogleAnalytics;

Any idea why this happens? Of course I have NOT excluded .analytics. Are there any dependencies?

Are there any dependencies?

Probably. NoClassDefFoundError errors can be confusing. This can happen if the class inherits from a missing class or there is a static field of a missing class. Check the unfiltered logs. There might be more information.

Argh. Tried to update to Google Play Services Revision 30 and it seems that they broke it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...e-play-services-libproject-folder-after-updat

Play services library is gone from SDK when updating to r30.

Back on Play Services Rev. 29.

Even in the unfiltered logs I can't see more. It seems that excluding .measurement also exludes analytics classes. I have no idea why.
Is it possible to enable additional logs so I can see which classes are exactly removed with the #ExcludeClasses attribute?

ExcludeClasses excludes classes based on the prefix. It doesn't do anything sophisticated.

I plan to provide a tool that will be able to work with the maven repositories. It will make it simpler.
