Obfuscated build gives NoSuchMethodException: <init> [class android.app.Activity, int]

[Brian C]

I've got the recommended proguard config as shown below.  Anyone else see this error?

I'm using the 4.1.0 release.

-keep class android.support.v4.app.** { *; } 
-keep interface android.support.v4.app.** { *; } 
-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; } 
-keep interface com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; } 

Here's a snip of the logcat output:

E/AndroidRuntime( 7423): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: <init> [class android.app.Activity, int]
E/AndroidRuntime( 7423): at com.actionbarsherlock.a.a(ActionBarSherlock.java:232)
E/AndroidRuntime( 7423): at com.actionbarsherlock.a.g.f(SherlockFragmentActivity.java:32)
E/AndroidRuntime( 7423): at com.actionbarsherlock.a.g.g(SherlockFragmentActivity.java:43)

From ActionBarSherlock.java:

private static final Class<?>[] CONSTRUCTOR_ARGS = new Class[] { Activity.class, int.class };

...

try {
     Constructor<? extends ActionBarSherlock> ctor = impl.getConstructor(CONSTRUCTOR_ARGS);
     return ctor.newInstance(activity, flags);
 } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
}

Based on what getConstructor does I'd expect I need to inform proguard to not obfuscate an class ctor that takes Activity.class and int.class as parameters.

[Jake Wharton]

That is correct. There is a single constructor on the two implementations of the ActionBarSherlock.java interface which are required.

[Brian C]

What would be the appropriate proguard config?  I'm using the things suggested on the website but I still get this error.

[Brian C]

Any update on this?  I still haven't found a proguard config that works with ABS.

[Jake Wharton]

I don't use proguard. Maybe someone else can help. Why not just keep everything in com.actionbarsherlock and be done with it?

I'm already keeping everything (classes and interfaces) from com.actionbarsherlock based on the recommended settings on the website, but it still throws the NoSuchMethodException runtime error:

-keep class android.support.v4.app.** { *; } 
-keep interface android.support.v4.app.** { *; } 
-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; } 
-keep interface com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }

I had issues with ADT 20's default proguard configuration. I ended up copy-pasting ADTv19's configuration into my proguard-project.txt

This is my proguard-project.txt file, all my projects get obfuscated without errors. Notice the "android.suppor.**" in place of "android.support.v4.**".

# ActionBarSherlock

-keep class android.support.** { *; }

-keep interface android.support.** { *; }

-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }

-keep interface com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }

# Keep line numbers to alleviate debugging stack traces

-renamesourcefileattribute SourceFile

-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable

[Brian C]

Sorry, user error... my build was using a different config file.  The recommended values on the website work fine.

Hi Brian,

Can you paste these values which you are using ?

Thanks

Luca,

This worked perfectly for me.  Thanks!!!!
