Proguard vs Annotations

Question

I have an app that uses ActiveAndroid, a database ORM library, that relies on annotations.

@Table(name="test") public class DatabaseItem extends ActiveRecordBase<DatabaseItem> {      public DatabaseItem(Context context) {         super(context);         // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub     }      @Column(name="counter")     public int counter;  } 

How do I get Proguard working nicely with this? Currently, I get errors about not finding a column name by ActiveAndroid when using Proguard. I guess it somehow mangles the annotation.

My relevant Proguard configuration:

#ActiveAndroid -keep public class com.activeandroid.** -keep public class * extends com.activeandroid.ActiveRecordBase -keepattributes Column -keepattributes Table 

Answer 1

Column and Table aren't existing java class file attributes. You'll at least have to specify

-keepattributes *Annotation* 

Cfr. the ProGuard manual.
