Proguard keep parameter names for interface and abstract class

Question

I am trying to prevent proguard from obfuscating interface (or abstract class) methods parameters.

Lets say I have this interface in my lib :

package com.mypackage;
public interface MyLibListener {
    void onSomething(boolean success, String message); 
}

And this proguard file :

-keepparameternames
-keep interface com.mypackage.MyLibListener {
    *;
}

Then I assemble release and I get :

package com.mypackage;
public interface MyLibListener {
    void onSomething(boolean var1, String var2);
}

Same thing with abstract classes or using @Keep annotations. Obfuscation option keepparameternames seems to work only for regular classes. Any idea? Thanks!

Answer 1

Add following ProGuard options to your configuration.

-keepattributes MethodParameters

If your class file hava method parameters metadata (compiled using Java8 -parameters or etc...)`, ProGuard will keep the metadata.
