ProGuard is not working

i am developing an Android APP with the lastest SDK. I'm developing the app for Api 4 (android 1.6).

My project haves a proguard-project.txt file (this is the proguard config file for the lastest versions of Android SDK) and the project.properties file haves uncomented the line for proguard, so proguard is activated (proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt)

the problem is that i compiled the apk file with proguard, and it seems that proguard is doing nothing in the file, i decompiled the apk and shows the same code than when proguard is not used. Also my proguard-project.txt is empty. It only contains comments...

this is the content of my autogenerated proguard-project.txt file:

    # To enable ProGuard in your project, edit project.properties
# to define the proguard.config property as described in that file.
#
# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
# By default, the flags in this file are appended to flags specified
# in ${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt
# You can edit the include path and order by changing the ProGuard
# include property in project.properties.
#
# For more details, see
#   http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html

# Add any project specific keep options here:

# If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
# and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
# class:
#-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
#   public *;
#}

Wich lines i must add to this file for obfuscate, optimize and reduce the size of my apk file? (at least will be fine to obfuscate the code...)

Thanks

The Android SDK only applies ProGuard when you create a release build, with ant release or by exporting the apk in Eclipse.
