ProGuard

AndroidAnnotations works with ProGuard, and you don't have any special adjustment to make !

For those who do not already know how to enable ProGuard, here is a little tutorial.

Enabling ProGuard

To enable ProGuard, you just have to set the following line in the default.properties.

proguard.config=proguard.cfg

proguard.cfg

When you create an new Android project, the file proguard.cfg should be automatically generated, but sometimes it's not. You will find here the default content of this file. This content is usable with ProGuard.

-optimizationpasses 5
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify
-verbose
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*

}

-keepclassmembers enum * {
    public static **[] values();
    public static ** valueOf(java.lang.String);
}

-keep class * implements android.os.Parcelable {
  public static final android.os.Parcelable$Creator *;
}

More information

Sometimes, because of the using of some libraries or of some special classes, you need to configure a bit more the behaviour of ProGuard. You will find below some useful links :
