How to exclude external library jar from Proguard in Android Studio?

build.gradle

one of the modules in my project is pretty simple:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 8
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 8
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard.cfg'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile project(':timsvc')
    compile files('libs/jsoup-1.8.2.jar')
}

However, when I create it, it cannot find symbols in the external library jsoup-1.8.2.jar

.

Since timsvc

is my module having its own build.gradle and proguard.cfg, I can control its minify level and therefore I have no problem with it.

But I cannot do the same for jsoup-1.8.2.jar

it because it is an external banner.

Is there a way to exclude it from Proguard in Android Studio?

If so, how do you do it?

Your best bet is to see the library documentation and readme page (like Github).

but in genneral you can add the -keep options to your proguard config file for the classes in these external jars. For example:



-keep class example.** { *; }
