[android-developers] Re: Licensing server, app cracked.
There's lots of information on using ProGuard with Android apps if you just Google those terms. I implemented it once with one of my apps to see if it would help my frame rates, but decided not to ship it. Wasn't much performance improvement in my case and not sure if I want the extra annoyance of having to convert stack traces back.

Thanks to Trevor for his reply, I'm really impatient to see this new
doc.
To you keyeslabs, I'm actually using netbeans,
what is the code you posted? An addition to build.xml for eclipse or
Android SDK project?

You'll need to adjust what you keep (e.g., don't obfuscate) so that
you don't shred classes that are referenced by your manifest, or
you'll have to update your manifest after the fact.

That is code from the Ant task generated by the Android tooling. I
added a new target to do obfuscation, and called it towards the end of
the build process. What you see here is the contents of my obfuscate
target.

Thanks for your reply, I will wait an official guide since I haven't
used ant tooling
and sincerely I have no intention to switch to it.
