Android Question How to use ProGuard on B4A jars?

[Gunther]

How to used ProGuard https://www.guardsquare.com/en/products/proguard/manual with the code we did with B4A?

It will be difficult. Compile in Release (obfuscated) instead.

Thanks, I was thinking about that for a possible shrinking due to enormous file size when Google Play Service comes into the game which normally adds resources which are not in use.
Informatix is using that but surely he has a extreme different background and he mentioned already that is for a normal b4x programmer almost not possible to apply.

enormous file size

What is the APK size?

 

[Gunther]

The APK has 5.2 Mb. This includes about 900kb of sounds and pics. The installed app has about 16 Mb.

May his advise is the easiest https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/proguard.40414/#post-257164

But may be since time has changed and so the B4X Version, it may be worth to re-ask.

5.2mb is not an enormous file size. I don't recommend you to use ProGuard.
